Winning a Nobel Prize is the acme of achievement in a narrow field of endeavour. Recipients are often recognised for their seminal contribution to the greater body of knowledge long after the achievement.
Winning a No Bell Prize is the opposite. At the nadir of achievement there are certain individuals
whose lack of originality; shallowness of understanding and inherent stupidity make them outstanding exemplars of their ilk.
The Bulwer-Lytton does it with literature. The Darwin Awards do it with life skills.
I propose the following categories be recognised:
Invention
Politics
Journalism
Sport, professional
darwin awards
