Do you want to be a Top Quark?

Yes, indeed. The well-know blog 3 quarks daily has just announced four prizes every year in the respective areas of Science, Arts & Literature, Politics, and Philosophy for the best blog post in those fields, to be awarded on the two solstices and two equinoxes.

The Science Prize will be awarded this summer solstice June 21st, to be judged by Steven Pinker. Time is short (June 1st is the last date for nominations), so hurry!

The first place award will be called the "Top Quark," and will include a cash prize of one thousand dollars; the second place prize, the "Charm Quark," will include a cash prize of three hundred dollars; and the third place winner will get the honor of winning the "Strange Quark," along with two hundred dollars.
