CONTEST PRIZES Two suggestion from Florent for the prize, are: (1.) material or we thought that it might be even better to try to get some (2.) financial support for attending the CBD 2010 in Japan Should contacting the sponsorship first about the possibilty for the prize, something can make the participation to the context more attractive. Note: the best photo will be showing at 38th IFSS South Korea JUDGING Selecting a winner will be on web based selection.
