I'd rather see $3,000 go to a programmer chosen by merit rather than gender. If a woman wins by merit, so be it. If no women bother to apply, then also so be it. There are zero barriers when interacting with your peers is done online.
Remember the old cartoon, "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog."? Well, on the Internet, nobody knows or cares that you're a woman (or disabled, or a particular ethnicity, or of a certain religion or sexual orientation) unless you make an issue out of it.
