GII awards?

[Brian Behlendorf <br...@organic.com>]

Stepping into the dangerously political waters of credit and fame and all 
that...

Would anyone have a problem if I entered us into the GII Awards 
competition?  It seems like we might have a good chance for either the 
"GII Next Generation" and/or the "Telecollaboration" categories.  I 
entered Hyperreal last year which made it to "finals" (kind of amazing 
considering the content of hyperreal) but didn't win.  I'm willing to 
write the submission, open it to review by this list, etc.  There is no 
financial award, simply a "medal" (which we can digitize and throw inside 
Hyperreal's box or something :) and a certificate, and a good deal of 
recognition.  

There is a fee of $25 to enter (or $75 for two categories) which I'll 
happily pick up.  

More info is at <URL:http://www.gii-awards.com/>.  Entry deadline is May 
1st.

	Brian

As far as I understand, it is free to enter.  I already entered one project
yesterday and I was certainly never asked for a fee of any kind.  I faxed
in my release form and received an acknowledgement email today.  It even
says it is free right on the main web page.
