It'd be a pleasant surprise to the people chosen too.

why should it be a contest

Here's why.
Last summer there were two main reasons why we started the Remix War:
1). To give bronies more pony music to listen to (because back then, there wasn't very much at all). Sync parties were maybe 45 entries max, with quality control.
2). to give bronies something to be excited about while we waited for season 2.
Things have changed DRASTICALLY since then.
We now have plenty of music to listen to, so much that' it's coming out of our nostrils. We also have PLENTY to do during the summer, because there's tons of other projects going on, content being pumped out like crazy, etc.
If we were to do another remix war, we'd be getting entries in the 200s. No one is going to sit through that in a sync party, and if we had a strict quality control, that's a TON of entries to go through. Releasing an album of that size won't interest people. Trust me. People will take quality over quantity any day, and wading through a 200+ track album is pointless.

Those top bronies won't actually compete (as that might be a bit unfair) but get the honor of having their track remixed several times over. Take the best remix of each song as the final release (voting and tracks perhaps made are anonymous in terms of who made them). You get 1 remix opportunity per musician that's it. So say you could have up to 10 people trying to remix a track x 28 tracks = could accomodate 280 people's time.
The listening and voting could be as big as the project itself and with so many more people involved you could see a lot more votes and listens. Obviously quite a few of these won't become the final product but people can release their own non-winning track afterwards too (and have a lot of company), something to be proud of, and a fun experience.
If anything that's the sad part of our community is that the big names rarely acknowledge and chat with ponies smaller then them.
the idea of having a small pool of songs to remix

Not just based of a small jury.
