I think the addition of having the story is a big increment in the amount of work that the animator would have to do. It's one thing to show a straight scene, it's another to start to have to use cinematic techniques to tell the story (that means storyboards, plotting etc etc, not to mention the redundant animation going on that 90% of people would skip to go straight to the BE).

One way to get around it is to go with a theme rather than a progressive story. Like BE from helium tank animations and see how creative people can get with that open brief. Or take a short passage from a work and get people to work with that. I'd have a whack at an animation competition like that for the $50.
