Any excuse for a contest , including this one, is fine by me. But the
premise behind it ... that the bulb is doing most of the radiating ...
is totally bogus. I read the material on his web site and it's
incredibly full of holes.

Maybe it's just me, but this sounds like a contest more suited for September 14th
& 15th 2019 -- UTC dates, that is.
Or April 1st.

Do you have what it takes to be TOP BULB? Announcing the 2019 Lightbulb
QSO Party.

That's right!......a QSO party where the participants transmit and receive
signals on CW, Phone, and digital modes using an antenna where a lightbulb
is the main radiating element. TOP BULB honors will be awarded to
participants in 4 categories of operation.
*HOUSEHOLD COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL HOMEBREW DUMMY LOAD*
Skeptical? Check out work that has already been done to prove that a
lightbulb-based antenna can be used in QSO's over significant
distances at *hamsignal.com

The Objective of the Lightbulb QSO party is to build and use an antenna
constructed in a manner so that the lightbulb is the main radiating element
and to promote understanding and practical application of antenna matching
concepts that allow a lightbulb to be used as a radiator in two way radio
communications.
