Nominations: Eighth Annual Paffnia Prize—Worth 3 Million Ŧ!

[Taco Island Charities]

Eighth Annual Paffnia Prize

It's time for the eighth 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.

After a banner year for my investments, my personal contribution to the Prize stands at 1,175,113 , and growing. As previously, TIC will match whatever I (Paffnia) put in, for a total of 2,350,226 so far. Others are, of course, welcome to donate on top of that.

Continued from last year, the Baden-Wuerttemberg Ruby Prize for second place and Baden-Wuerttemberg Opal Prize for third place will also be awarded. In total, all three of the Paffnia and Ba-Wü Prizes will give out 3,000,000 (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 12^th at 8:00 P.M. Eastern, at which point voting will occur for a week.
