Just musing out aloud, in the future maybe POTY should be announced at Wikimania where possible the author invited to wikimania and be given something to recognise that, if they cant attend maybe a video link up.
I also wonder why with POTY into its fourth year that its not automated, using standard templates with translations over the the same time period each year
