Dear Micawber,
Thank you very much for your explanation. The problem is that this is a multiple choice sentence and "whichever" and "whoever" are among the four choices. That's why I got confused. For a single sentence without any context I can't decide how many contestants enter for the contest.
Best wishes,
Jiang
