I dont have the final figures yet but we've collected €650+ (approx $840+) in donations from our awesome community members to pay out as prizes for the coding competition. It's time to decide how that bounty is shared out

Background - we have 6 categories that people have entered their applications into. So the intention is to begin by splitting the bounty equally 6 ways, so each category begins with an equal share of the prize fund. The question is then how that category share is split amongst the winner(s).

Also, Nokia have kindly invited the winner of each category to the MeeGo conference (or substitute a N900 if anyone can't make it). Some have suggested this is enough of a first prize, and the bounty should be split to give more to the runner(s) up.

Ive asked for suggestions on the main competition discussion thread, and have received 3 general ideas back. This is what we're voting on. To begin, each of the 6 categories get their equal share then..

Option 1. 1st place gets 50%, 2nd gets 30%, and 3rd gets the remaining 20% of that share.

Option 2. 2nd place gets 50%, 3rd gets 30%, and 4th gets the remaining 20%. 1st does not get a share of the bounty as Nokia are rewarding the 1st place winner already.

Option 3. 2nd place gets 60%, 3rd gets the remaining 40%. 1st does not get a share of the bounty as Nokia are rewarding the 1st place winner already.


That's your options, please choose
