Hi All,
I am very much interested to support such competition in Africa,and
Nigeria,in particular,where,I lead a community of Student teams in more
than 7 universities for OSM /GeoForAll activities.
Thanks @ Suchith  for the guide,would appreciate more help . at Sergio,would
you be happy to inbox me a template of your successful national competition?
I would also like to know if the Africa Regional Chair has any plan towards
this ,however,I would like to plan for a national competition for students
in Nigeria.
Thanks
