A new $10,000 college blogger contest, conservative or libertarian

America's Future Foundation is looking for:

the best conservative or libertarian college blogger. The purpose of the contest is to encourage original liberty-minded blogger journalism on college campuses and to identify young conservative and libertarian talent who wish to pursue careers as journalists and writers.

The contest is open to all graduate and undergraduate bloggers age 25 and younger. The winning blog will be awarded a cash prize of $10,000.

Application Deadline: December 31, 2007.

Of 7 judges, 4 are libertarian:

• Jonathan Adler of The Volokh Conspiracy and The Corner
• Radley Balko of The Agitator
• Megan McArdle ("Jane Galt") of Asymmetrical Information at TheAtlantic.com
• Glenn Reynolds of Instapundit

3 are conservative:

• Robert Bluey of The Heritage Foundation and RobertBluey.com
• Jonah Goldberg of The Corner on National Review Online
• Mary Katharine Ham (a video blogger) of TownHall.com

My take: wouldn't separate prizes for each category be better?
