I would say that the best prize the Google can offer - is free promotion of the Android applications by the means of Google. For example, creating a resource which contains information about all decent applications (not only the winners), where the users can select/ find/download/read about all reasonable Android applications, put rankings, etc. The applications which have the best user rankings will be always on the top, and, hence, viewable/used by thousands of potential Android users. The new application addition/or old application editing procedure should be moderated to make sure that there is no spam and false information. Google will have to make sure that this resource is added to the google search and links from it automatically fire up first when the users search with "Android mobile gphone etc." keywords. It can be portal type of a resource which will also contain Google side reviews and OHA recommendations for really cool applications.
This kind of promotion won't cost much to Google, but will definetely benefit both sides - developers and Google itself. It's even better for money, I would definetely sell my car and invest that money into my app if I would see that the users actually love it and that it can be efficiently promoted by Google itself. If Google wants any kind of developer feedback or vision on what this resource can potentially look like, I guess we all will be really happy to provide it. Just my 2 cents.
