As pointed out by many previous posters, imho competition lacks the overall
opensourcy, diy, free spirit.

But awards don't need such a hard competitive spirit.

Here at Voidspace (CCCAC) we currently have one award for our members: EOTM
(Employee of the month) which is awarded monthly to a single member who has done
something good for the space.

But everbody keeps this award (on his wiki-userpage) so we keep on awarding until
everyone has one.

Its rather pointless - but funny. And it might eventually encourage lazy members
to actually get one ;)

Cheers,
