National Science and Arts Prize its an awful translation of Premio Nacional de Ciencias y Artes. I know that's the way it was translated at Conaculta's website, but it sounds horrible in English. I think the correct translation is National Prize for Arts and Sciences, which is the way Time magazine translated it a year after its creation. -José Gnudista (talk) 19:30, 1 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, as it stands, it's not a very elegant wording, Conaculta notwithstanding. I'd normally say follow the same order of the words as in Spanish, but "National Prize for Arts and Sciences" sounds better than "National Prize for Sciences and Arts". Move it if it bothers you, either there or (?) to the Spanish name. Aille (talk) 01:10, 2 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
