Thanks Dave,
Chivas wants to wash their sins, and they offer a 1mil usd prize for a project with social impact.
I am now competing with the other 4 projects in the national phase. One of us will go to the finals for a chance to win a slice of the big prize. They split it in 5-6 parts, the first winner takes half, next half of remaining and so on.
This voting thing is a second component of the competition, and the prize is 3000EUR, but my feeling is the jury will take it into account when selecting the national winner, as they are looking for projects with social impact.
Nevertheless, it's been strange to see the votes fluctuate, my competitor follows a trend in regards to my votes, always "keeping close", probably waiting to hit the last minute. Deadline is Jan 5. So I did this:
