Would someone please explain the logic, the rationale, the professional career incentive in offering a $1.2 million luxury apartment for one year as First Prize in a photo competition? Am I the only sorry bastard to find this utterly fucking inane? Is this actually supposed to encourage and further the creative zeitgeist of great things to come? Wouldn't it make a helluva lot more sense and provide considerably more incentive to offer a fully equipped studio for a year, paid transportation world wide, a fully paid internship shooting for a photo agency- or $10,000 in cash? Or is this simply creative license to inspire the future Terry Richardsons of photodom?

how else is edge gunna fill up all those empty spaces in williamsburg? and theres no shortage of self-proclaimed "artists" in the area. bring in one hipster and soon friends will be askin their parents for the exclusivity deserved by an artist...
Shame you don't get the rights to sell Mr The Edge's $1.2 million apartment.
A bizarre prize indeed. I saw that and thought. Erm, you can keep the pad, I'll take the suitcase full of cash please. I know a few places a damn sight better than NYC where I could live for more than a year on $10 000...
