Yup, I guess no scientists want to make an easy million bucks by writing up a hypothesis for abiogenesis. Tell me another joke.
Perhaps you are confused. Setting the rules of a contest is not the same thing as setting the contemporary limits of science. If you offered a contest with a prize of a billion smackers for a plausable heliocentric scenario, of equal technical worth to the Ptolomaic system, before the time of the great sythesis: Brahe->Kepler->Copernicus->Newton, you could have had no serious takers, because no one would have the underpinnings to work from--not even for a billion bucks. That did not prevent certain greeks from formulating heliocentric models.
What's the difference?
Silly rabbit. Contests are for kids, not scientists, and they prove nothing, even if you insist they do three times while standing on your head and hold your breath until you turn blue.
