Hello,
The voting round of our science prize (details here) is over. A total of 1475 votes were cast for the 80 nominees (click here for full list of nominees). Thanks to the nominators and the voters for participating.
Carla Goller has designed a “trophy” logo that our top twenty vote-getters may choose to display on their own sites. So here they are, in descending order from the most voted-for:

- Bad Astronomy: A lunar illusion you'll flip over
- Daylight Atheism: A Sense of Kinship
- The Primate Diaries: Chimpanzees Prefer Fair Play to Reaping an Unjust Reward

The editors of 3 Quarks Daily will now pick the top six entries from these, and after possibly adding up to three “wildcard” entries, will send that list of finalists to Richard Dawkins on June 11. We will also post the list of finalists here on that date.
Good luck!
