My searches found absolutely nothing aside from mirrors and the author seemed to have started other articles but I haven't found anything for this. Inviting Calamondin12 and TheGGoose. SwisterTwister talk 01:30, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No indication that this prize ever existed; could be a hoax. Among other things, the attribution to a "so far unidentified Singaporean patron of the arts" is the kind of vague statement commonly found in hoaxes. The rationale behind a $10,000 cash prize for a philanthropist also seems odd. If this article has any basis in reality at all, it may have been an idea that was proposed but never came to fruition. In any case, if the Wollen-Blohm Prize had ever been actually awarded, we should have heard about it somewhere, since such awards generally attract at least some notice in reliable sources.
