Design is simply refering to "drawing". The problem lies in defining the words "in lying" and "specific persons". As a student with English as a second language, it appreas to me that there are 2 possible meanings:

1. I must award 'fictional' prizes to 3 important people of this world (writers, philosophers, scientists, for me to choose from!)
The text could thus also be translated as: "prizes for excellence (, comma) in lying to be awarded". the prizes being just a created game Not this - "in lying to be awarded" is meaningless.

2. I must give awards to 'champion' liars. People who have lied in their lives and careers (like...Bush or who knows) This one

Of course, any artist is a liar, since he is creating an illusion, but please let us not relate to this! "To lie" has a more specific connotation than making up fictions or altering visual realities. It is to say or write something which is not true in order to deceive someone

It is ver important to me that I get this the right way. Not to say may future life but ALMOST!! Please reply ASAP! Thank you so much in advance
