Folks
As some of you may know, the Australian Skeptics offers an annual prize (of $10 000) for Critical Thinking projects. As described in last year's announcement:The 2007 Australian Skeptics Prize for Critical Thinking will be awarded for work that investigates popular conventional wisdom and beliefs which lack reliable evidence or scientific method, and that promotes rational thinking about such matters by the public, educators and the media. Our Prize is aimed to attract entries from educators across the broad spectrum, journalists or others in the media, and academic or private researchers.
Do skeptical groups in other parts of the world offer similar prizes, or incentives of some sort?
Cheers
