Announcing the 3quarks Daily Politics Prize with Judge Lewis Lapham

The most counterintuitive, surprising, and impactful new stories delivered to your inbox every Thursday.

Ideas blog 3quarks Daily is seeking entries for its second annual political blog post contest. This year’s celebrity guest judge is distinguished American writer and editor Lewis Lapham. Last year, historian Tariq Ali had the honor.

Submission guidelines:

The nominations are opened. Please nominate your favorite politics blog entry by placing the URL for the blog post (the permalink) in the comments section of this post. You may also add a brief comment describing the entry and saying why you think it should win. (Do NOT nominate a whole blog, just one individual blog post.)

Blog posts longer than 4,000 words are not eligible.

Each person can only nominate one blog post.

Entries must be in English.

The editors of 3QD reserve the right to reject entries that we feel are not appropriate.

The blog entry may not be more than a year old. In other words, it must have been written after November 21, 2009.

You may also nominate your own entry from your own or a group blog (and we encourage you to).

Guest columnists at 3 Quarks Daily are also eligible to be nominated, and may also nominate themselves if they wish.

Nominations are limited to the first 200 entries.

Prize money must be claimed within a month of the announcement of winners.

First prize is $1000. Submit your entries before midnight on Dec 2. See 3quarks for full contest details.
