Sellamat prients ! 
 
I think that this "teaching adventure" should not be limited to a single project. 
Of course, I wish Sambahsa would be chosen at the beginning (relatively low difficulty; it stands at the crossroads between natlang, conlang, artlang...). But I would hardly see people being obliged to be "held" on Sambahsa, even if they have appreciated the language

I'm not sure "competition" is the right word for this either.  By my
count, only six of the twenty-four languages proposed so far were
proposed by their creator, and of the other eighteen, only three
others, I think, are created by people who are subscribed to this
mailing list.
