About meBlog on Asian security, win a prize
This message just got sent out on the NBR Japan Forum. Given my dedication to blogging it isn’t something I’ll be shooting for, but it may be of interest to other people out there in the more serious corners of Asia-based web writing.
The MacArthur Foundation has extended their deadline for their new Asia Security Initiative Blogger Awards competition until April 12, 2009. Since there are quite a few Forum members who are interested in security issues (and blogging), we are passing along their announcement and information. – Japan Forum staff.
Asia Security Initiative Blogger Awards
The John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation
Deadline: April 12, 2009The Foundation is now seeking applications for its Asia Security Initiative Blogger Awards (the “Awards”) described below. The Foundation seeks, through the use of blogs, to advance the field of International Peace and Security by enhancing the knowledge and understanding of Asian security issues.
A successful applicant will be expected to post three to five blogs per week. At least two blog postings per month shall be 200-400 words in length and focus on a topic of relevance to the Asia Security Initiative. The remaining posts may be shorter in length (10-100 words) and could highlight an interesting article or conference, briefly comment on world events relevant to Asian security, or raise questions for other bloggers.
Up to five (5) individuals may be awarded $10,000 each. The Foundation reserves the right not to make any Awards if no applicants meet the applicable criteria or for any other reason as determined by the Foundation.
The Award Guidelines are available online. Good luck if you apply!

If I spread enough rumors and innuendo to start wars, internal insurrections, and otherwise seek to undermine the security of the region, could I also win $10,000?

That would certainly be of relevance to Asian security. I don’t see how you could lose!
