user15165: 
This has been shipped today (August 2nd)! Enjoy your swag, everyone :)
If you still don't have yours and think you should have it by now, please send me an e-mail so I can look into it instead of leaving a comment here. :)


We want to congratulate and thank everyone that helped this site and community grow healthily into what they are today!
To make this announcement even more festive, I tried to find some good biology jokes, but was only able to find this one humerus, and I'm not sure that qualifies as a biology joke... (｡ˇ艸ˇ)
If you can find your name among the top 72 users in the first two pages here, we have a surprise for you! We want to send you a token of our appreciation for being among the most prolific users in this community! As such, we're sending you a little box, inside which you'll find:
A T-SHIRT!

STICKER PACK!

I'll be reaching out to you later today with a link to a form: be sure to fill out the form as soon as you're able to do so! You'll have two weeks to do it, after which I'll close the form and take care of sending all of the swag your way! It should take from 6 to 8 weeks for the package to be delivered to you!
If you're not on the list, don't worry too much about it — we've got some extra swag stored we can send to you for events and such!
Thanks to all of you for making this site great!

user3624: Got this packet yesterday. Thank a lot! However, I'm surprised that the t-shirt and stickers use the old design proposal (not the current one) and doesn't include the name or the web address (which I mentioned in the comments in March). This means that the value as promotion material and publicity for the site is close to zero. I though StackExchange valued the branding of their sites more than this.
Even so, again thanks!

user1590: Follow up request, could we get the swag with the current designs rather than the first draft of biology graphics (see: Site design for Biology community). The graphics shown on the t shirt and stickers don't reflect our finalised design, it would be great to get those designs instead!

PS this is really cool, thanks stack exchange!

user4108: Wow! Thank you. I am pretty happy with this t-shirt and it feels good to receive a reward $\ddot \smile$. I will be happy to add a Biology.SE sticker on my laptop as well.
How about an Award too?
An award for the $n^{th}$ top users could be a nice reward and would allow users to add a line in their CV from our hard work here. $n$ could be 3, 5, 10 or 72 I guess. It also have the advantage that such reward would represent little cost to the site.
The award could state something like Award for outstanding online teacher in <Enter Two Main Tags> or something similar and be signed by StackExchange or Biology.StackExchange. The award could indicate the number of people reached too or some other glorious statistics.
For example for our best User @Chris (Congratulation Chris!), the award could state Award for outstanding online teacher in Human Biology and Biochemistry. ~491,000 people reached worldwide
I am not sure what to think about this idea. Please let me know if it sounds good or not.
Popularizing the reward philosophy
Is it the first time that SE offers such reward? If not, it could be an incentive for users to work harder for this website if it was indicated somewhere that such reward exist. Keeping secret the information about how many people would receive the reward would be a good idea.
