The Nine Dots Prize is back! This year, they are asking a simple question: Is there still no place like home?

To win the $100,000 prize, you are asked to send a 3,000 word essay that answers the question. If  your essay wins, you get a whopping $100,000 to write a book on the topic.

The prize is sponsored by Cambridge University and the Kadas Prize Foundation.

According to their website:
