Look at the SJ Unique Ship challeneges on BtMs, though not as many of
those were 'drop and play' as I would have liked.  The goal was to
produce those sorts of encounters.

I don't have the money to provide any sort of prize.  Anyone else who
would like to run a challenge with a prize is welcome to, just
coordinate it through Static, or don't use the 'SJ Challenge' name
