Thank you all for the overwhelming response that you have given us in the past few weeks!

We have received 48 complete applications for a SOTM 2010 scholarship, which is 13 more than last year! Unfortunately, there are still only 15 places to give…

At the moment, we are very busy with reviewing all the applications, in order to create the list of 15 happy applicants, that will receive a travel scholarship for attending the SOTM 2010.
This list will be available before the 21st of May, and will also be posted on this site.
Each of the nominees will receive an email with the verdict before the list is published.

Thank you for your patience, and good luck to you all!!!

Kind Regards,

Bojan & the State of the Map 2010 organizers
