Hi all,
unless I'm overseeing some developments, the big prizes for the European competition are not going extremely well. There is the prize offered by Europeana of course (and the 12 calendars!), but aside from that it is still a bit empty unfortunately. In the European budget, we reserved 1500 euro for a European prize, and analogue to the Indonesian writing contest, the idea has been with several people to spend that on a "scholarship" for the winner to visit Wikimania.
Am I missing anything? Would there be huge objections to the scholarship idea as a first prize?
