I would def consider this.
A small entry fee is no big deal. An odd entry fee like a dozen flies and 5 bucks would be cool. The grand prize could be everyone's flies in one of the really nice, big fly boxes (which would be purchased with the entry fee).
I personally like a monthly style tournament that runs for the season. Each month would have a small prize and each month could be for a specific species (or two, or three). Generally, these types of tournaments operate on a points basis-- first place gets three, second gets two, third gets one and at the end of the season the angler with the most points wins the grand prize (think of it like Nascar [cool]) This allows anglers to enter at any time, and gives anglers a chance to win many small prizes. Also, you can still do well even if you hate fishing for a particular specie or can't fish one month.
In regards to boards, I believe it should be the only legitimate way of measuring your catch. Cumbersome to carry, maybe--but, they are nearly impossible to cheat. In many of the CPR tournaments I have fished commercial boards are the only acceptable means of measurement.
