I see them as compliments! I expect blogging encouraged by the prize will on average require less context to read, and will often be done by people who aren’t members of the EA community. I hope that as authors and readers think more about these topics, they will find their way here.
I’m curious why do you expect blogging to “often be done by people who aren’t members of the EA community”? Are you advertising this in other places and is this your way of trying to get more people into EA? Do you want long-time members of EA community to apply as well? Sorry if that’s too many questions.
Are you advertising this in other places and is this your way of trying to get more people into EA?
Yes, much of the advertising/outreach targets people who know what EA is (and have generally positive feelings about it) but don’t consider themselves members of the community.
Do you want long-time members of EA community to apply as well?
Yes, we’re excited long-time members to apply, especially if they are writing in a way that is accessible to wider audiences. Note that this doesn’t necessarily mean writing simplistic or introductory posts, just ones that are accessible to a wider audience. Cold Takes is a great example of this.
