Sixth Annual Paffnia Prize
It's time for the sixth annual incarnation of the Paffnia Prize, the award given to the nation that comes up with the best new, implemented idea for the Islands each year. The Prize is administered and partially funded by Taco Island Charities. All the information on the Prize can be found here.
This year, my personal contribution to the Prize stands at 309,580 , and growing (Mortimer was good to me this year!). As previously, TIC will match whatever I ( Paffnia ) put in, for a total of 619,160 . Others are, of course, welcome to donate on top of that.
In a special new addition this year, the Baden-Wuerttemberg Ruby Prize for second place and Baden-Wuerttemberg Opal Prize for third place will also be awarded. Thank you to Baden-Wuerttemberg for the suggestion and the gem theme; I have decided to name the prizes in honor of her wonderful contributions over the years to our region!
In total, all three of the Paffnia and Ba-Wü Prizes will give out 1,000,000 (final amounts to be determined)!
Please add your nominations and suggestions in the thread below! I'll add some myself a little later.
Nominations will remain open until January 3, at which point voting will occur for a week.
