Looking for the Main Candidate for Philosopher of the Year

Isn't it funny that there's a committee now searching for the philosopher of the year?  Well, it would be fine, just fine, if the criteria was clearer than simply contributing an original idea.  Most of my colleagues believe there are not original ideas at all, especially in philosophy.  Does this mean another committee for another symposium of sorts headed, by whom else, but our philosopher of the year?!?!?! Count me out!
