hi,

i'm organising an award ceremony for the best contribution to science
in the past year. i have not yet decided on the size of the prize money

but it is likely to be in the thousands rather than millions of
dollars. i hope to award this prize on a yearly basis and shall be
considering nominations over the next year. this award differs from
others in that it is for the best contribution to science over a one
year period and so is recent and relevant and will attract a wider
catchment of candidates. candidates are expected to give a lecture
explaining their contribution to science. this award will, hopefully,
attract global publicity. please present your nominations here or by
email. also please suggest a suitable name for this prize, such as the
science prize.
