Chinmoy, I remember sometime back we have implemented similar award. Somehow it was not continued. Yes it is very good idea to attract good articles. But the implementation should be transparent and effective, otherwise the motivation would be lost.
My suggestion would be:
1. The articles should be nominated by the authors themselves.
2. The best articles should be selected by the other members by voting/comments/reviews.
3. A panel of moderators should decide the winner (not just by user votes or by comments but also with their own reviews)
4. In case no good article submitted the award will be discarded for that week.
These are some of my ideas but I request you to share your thoughts.
