If you don't want to go for the prize at least give them some advice about "nonacademic" in house peer review OK?
It seems to me that any scientist truly qualified to take on this challenge would be far more interested in getting his work reviewed, published and acknowledged in peer review journals. Such a scientist would rather win the Nobel prize for such work rather than win a contest by a group which has to beg for academic advisers.
