<div style="direction:ltr">Hi Suchith,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">Can I query the amount of money involved here? I think that $3,500 for prizes is a bit too large, especially considering the environment that we’re in. Can I suggest/discuss that we parcel $2k at least from the GeoForAll budget, to
support widening participation through the Travel Grant Program, with the remainder on awards?</div>
<div style="direction:ltr"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">This seems more equitable and would support the mission more aptly in my opinion.</div>
<div style="direction:ltr"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction:ltr">Thanks!</div>

<div class="PlainText">Thanks Mark for the query. Yes, This is specifically for awarding the best presentations/posters of students at FOSS4G conference. It is fully upto the LOC to decide the criteria for this and plan this. It will need to be given at the
closing ceremony and it will be good if someone from the LOC (after the event) sends us some photos and short blogpost for the OSGeo website. The bigger aim is to get more students to submit the work for FOSS4G conferences as well as providing recognition
for the excellent work of students.<br>
<br>
Best wishes,<br>

Dear Mark<br>
These are prizes for the best presentations or posters of young authors at the conference. They are given at the closing session and there will be a jury at the conference evaluating posters and presentations.<br>
It is different from the travel grants.<br>

Dear All,<br>
<br>
Thank you for this!<br>
<br>
Suchith, can you help clarify the differences between this program and the Travel Grant Program please? I just want to ensure that the two differing programs are coordinated and that we’re targeting different constituencies with the funding - I believe that
the two programs are targeting similar constituencies in groups that need to have their participation widened, so understanding GeoForAll’s specific guidelines will help guide the LOC in the appropriate approach. In that respect, with the LOC, I’m happy for
this to be ran within the LOC, as a LOC effort too.<br>
<br>
Let us know what further information you require/want to discuss too!<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
<br>
Mark<br>

><br>
> My suggestion is that 7500 USD in the budget is kept for OSGeo student awards at FOSS4G conferences (global or local). These awards will be decided and given by the FOSS4G LoC. But before we make this request to OSGeo Board , I would like to know if FOSS4G
2018 LOC in Dar Es Salaam will like to give Student awards (max 3500 USD in total for global event) and is there anyone in the LOC willing to coordinate this. Unless there is someone in LOC willing to do this, we cannot make this possible. If there are any
other FOSS4G local events happening in 2018 and wish to give student awards , the LOC can contact the GeoForAll mail lists informing their interest and contact person and we can plan to allocate the rest (maximum 1000 USD per local event - so maximum 4 local
events will be supported per year)<br>
><br>
> My question is - Is there any one in FOSS4G 2018 LOC and local FOSS4G conferences happening in 2018 interested to give student awards and willing to be point of contact for this. Ideally, if the LOCs can match fund this with external funding the better for
expanding impact .<br>
