Issue 20 announcement: Pitches requested
Friends of the BSR, it is that time once again. The Berkeley Science Review is seeking story proposals for the Spring 2010 issue.
However, something is going to be different this time. As we approach this, our 20th issue and 10th anniversary, I am very pleased to announce the inception of the Berkeley Science Review Reader’s Choice Award. After the next issue is published, we will have an open voting competition to determine the recipient of the award. To put it simply, the article which readers like the best and receives the most votes, wins.
The award includes:
-A $150 cash prize
-I will interview the winner, and the interview will appear on the blog, as well as being prominently featured on the front page of the website until the next cycle.
-You know, feeling like you might be a little bit too awesome.
