Nick Cave is not in a creativity competition.

Fifteen years ago, Nick Cave won MTV's best male artist award but declined to accept it.  His letter includes sincere thanks and some mystical discussion of his muse.
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN OF THE OPINION THAT MY MUSIC IS UNIQUE AND INDIVIDUAL AND EXISTS BEYOND THE REALMS INHABITED BY THOSE WHO WOULD REDUCE THINGS TO MERE MEASURING. I AM IN COMPETITION WITH NO-ONE.
