NEW YORK CITY, New York -- His Holiness St Vandoofus today announced the Vandoofus Prize for Photography after many weeks of wrangling with Kahuna vis-à-vis the technicalities of the award.
It is understood that Vandoofus had originally mooted the idea of a Kahuna Memorial Trophy to which Kahuna had raised strong objections, for the most part because He was not dead yet. Insiders believe that Vandoofus had offered to remedy the situation leading to a breakdown in negotiations. However, an apparent compromise had been reached subsequently, allowing the public announcement to be made.
Speaking to the media, His Holiness said that the Vandoofus Prize would be awarded to the best original photograph posted at the Circus and selected by peer review. Any number of original photographs may be entered and there is no restriction on theme or content. Photographs may be blogged using Picasa, Hello or the Blogger post editor, using the methods explained here.
The winner stands to pocket one million Circus Dollars[1] and will be hosted to a meal by Vandoofus in New York City or Colombo--by Memorandum of Understanding with Kahuna[2]. Vandoofus said that the frequency of the award would initially be dependent on blog activity, which is presently at an all-time low possibly due to an all-time high level of apathy.
Critics dismissed the announcement saying it was just another opportunity for an inter-continental food binge. They added that the whole process was doomed since the peers proposed for the peer review were "a bunch of clowns." Kahuna warned that He would silence detractors with a well-aimed cactus. Digital menace Professor Gordon hinted that he may be in the running for the Prize after an unsuccessful bid for the Ansari X Prize earlier this year.

Of late, blogging an image using the Hello Bloggerbot has turned out to be impossible X-(
Clowns are advised to use the Blogger post editor. Select the large size and load your original image. Blogger creates a smaller copy for the blog and links it to the original.
