[ExI] H+ BLOCKCHAIN ESSAY PRIZE

Mon Apr 9 18:22:26 UTC 2018

You might want to also list the judging criteria.

Are you looking for abstract philosophical thought?  Practical
implementation plans?  Surveys to summarize the current status and use of
blockchain?  (It's meaningless to say, "Yes to all of those.")

What is the audience?  Will essays be judged better or worse if they
painstakingly define "blockchain" (as appropriate for the general public
but not for those who already work with it)?  What is the target length
(2-3 pages, 10 pages, novella length, full novel length)?

(Also, it is unclear if you mean for the author's name to appear on the
title page only, or not even on the title page.)
