A Voynich "X Prize"? That sounds hideous!
Why incentivize the invidious?
Retain that champagne
I'd far rather remain
Productive, open-booked and fastidious

At least it's easy to determine who would win a Voynich poetry contest!

Nice one, Nick! Yes, I agree.

Although, how about an annual Ninjas award for the most significant contribution to the State of the Art?

On the contrary, the abundance of solutions published through the years suggests that it is not the financial return that motivates people.
