Reviving a venerable tradition from the Enlightenment era, _The Hinternet_ is launching an essay prize contest. The inaugural competition asks:

**“How might current and emerging technologies best be mobilized to secure perpetual peace?”**

The contest invites bold, independent, and engaging ideas from specialists and non-specialists alike. While acknowledging the historical connection between technological progress and warfare, the contest seeks proposals that explore how such advancements might instead contribute to lasting peace without excessive compromises to human freedom.

  
Essays may be anywhere between **2,000 and 10,000 words.** You must remove all identifying information from the essay document itself (within reason), to facilitate blind judging. 

**The winner will receive $10,000 USD.**
