Kent E. Hovind (born January 15, 1953) is an American evangelist and prominent "Young Earth" creationist. The self-styled "Dr. Dino" (whose Ph.D, from an unaccredited university, is in Christian education) established the Creation Science Evangelism Ministry in 1989.[1] Hovind previously spoke frequently in schools, churches, university debates and on radio and television broadcasts arguing for young earth creationism. He is a subject of controversy and public scrutiny.
On November 2, 2006, Hovind and his wife, Jo, were found guilty by a jury in a Pensacola, Florida federal court of fifty-eight federal tax and tax-related offenses. Hovind is currently being held by the Escambia County Sheriff's Office awaiting sentencing on January 9, 2007. He has been ordered to forfeit $430,400 and faces a maximum of 288 years in prison.[2][3]

If someone could prove it, there probably wouldn't be a reward so big, would there?
Plus if you think about it, evolution is not that good of a theory anyway. Sure there's proof for "micro-evolution"(better described as a variation in the genes), but macro-evolution is just a theory, that has nothing to back it up.

His rules for what he will consider proof are so arbitrary and restrictive that there is no way anyone could ever collect. Not to mention after he gets finished paying the 400 odd thousand $$ the government fined him before he does his prison time, I don't think he's gonna have a lot of money lying around.

The way he set it up, it is impossible to win that money. First off, he redefines evolution. So within your proof you also have to prove the big bang and abiogenesis. then he not only asks for proof for evolution, he asks for proof there is no God. But by the nature of God, it is technically impossible to prove there is no God. If you could, he would just say that is how God made it look.

Nope. I can't sorry. I dont even have a reason to try and find one, not even for the money. I think that the person who CAN prove that evolution is the truth, deserves a hell of alot more than $250,000 though. Lol.

you cannot prove falsehood and nonsense
Harvard University paleoanthropologist, says:
If you brought in a smart scientist from another discipline and showed him the meagre evidence we've got he'd surely say, "forget it; there isn't enough to go on."181
