      No I am not, neither as a contestant of this competition or as a scientist. My motivation is love of science.

      Nope. Totally not. I didn’t even know there was a prize when I entered. We don’t get the money anyway as far as I know.

      No. That’s what the corporate world is for. And with regard to the prize money, it is a nice add-on (and potentially very useful for the winner) to an otherwise fascinating experiment in science communication.
