For your consideration:
As a means of publicizing the vast quantity of high-quality content material uniquely available on its recently released website, UNZ.org is announcing a historical research competition.
A First Prize of $10,000 and several other cash prizes will be awarded for the most significant and interesting historical discovery based on UNZ.org source material. All entries must be received by August 31, 2012, and awards will be made by September 30, 2012.
Interested participants should examine the rules, read the description of the available content source material, and then register for the competition.
Good luck!
Not that it matters, but I am on the judging panel. I’m hoping that there are some cliometric oriented submissions using the text data, though I’m a fan of good history, period.
