I think we can also see the price of this in comparaison with propriatary software, where 1000 euro means nothing: you don't even buy full potoshop, nor premiere pro or any other full featured editing software, neither any other 3d software of the same range, and all that WITHOUT training, wich in my point is the most important, as you can do sh..t with pro software if you can't use it efficiently ... and that you can do miracles with free software with good knowledge, enoegh practice, and most : with passion ! super initiative !

Actually EU never gives full financing thats why we don't cover the travel expenses. And one more important thing: There is a restriction for eligible participants, they can be only from EU countries, Switzerland, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway. I'm not agree with this, but it is the sponsor rule. Respect, Stoycho Stanchev Hi Luis,
