Ten dollars for every word you write
by Paul Miller
In case you haven't noticed, the boys and girls over the road are sponsoring another essay prize in conjunction with The Economist.
This year the title is 'Do we need nature?' - 2,000 words are due by the 22nd August and you stand to pocket $20,000 if you win.
In our youfs a few of us have won this kind of thing (although none of us have won that much!). It got me wondereing whether maybe we should run one? Pros and cons in the comments box please.
