+
+<p>Nearly 70 young people from across Europe signed up for the new 
+edition of Youth Hacking 4 Freedom, a competition for European 
+teenagers to develop their coding skills and win great cash prizes. 
+</p>
+
+<p>This second edition, which started last January, was accompanied by 
+a new activity: a monthly meeting where participants had the 
+opportunity to discuss their technical problems and learn some tips 
+from different Free Software experts. These meetings have also been a 
+way to keep in touch during the last months, and a way to support each 
+other, promoting one of the principles of Free Software, the creation 
+of community. These open and voluntary meetings allowed those attending 
+to talk and connect with each other in smaller groups.</p>
+
+<blockquote> <italic>"The monthly meetings provide an opportunity to talk and 
+connect with other participants and have helped to form friendships 
+throughout the contest. It has been great to see how well these
+meetings have been received by the participants. And it is a really rewarding experience to be able to help young people 
+from all over Europe to meet other Free Software enthusiasts!"</italic>, <em> says Bonnie Mehring, YH4F project 
+manager.</em>
+</blockquote>
+
+
+<p>After six hard working months of coding, it is now the turn of <a href="/activities/yh4f/jury.html">the 
+YH4F jury </a> to evaluate the participants’ 
+submitted projects. The jury is composed by Free Software professionals 
+with different background and technological skills, that will review 
+the projects within the next weeks taking into consideration different 
+criteria such as the originality of the idea, the creativity of the 
+project or the quality of the code. </p> 
+
+<p>After the first round of voting the jury will decide which of the 
+submitted projects could be considered for one of the cash prizes. 
+Then, the owners of those projects will be invited to an online 
+interview to present it and answer the jury questions. Afterwards the 
+jury will decide on the prizes.</p>
+
+<h3>Brussels is awaiting!</h3> <p>In the coming weeks, the winners will 
+be announced based on the judges' scores, and prizes will be awarded at 
+the YH4F Awards ceremony in Brussels in mid October, to which all 
+participants will be invited for an all-expenses-paid weekend.</p> 
+
+<p>Six winners will receive cash prizes ranging from €4,096 to €1,024 each, at 
+a ceremony featuring top Free Software speakers.</p>
+
+<p><strong>Keep up to date to our next news to learn about this year amazing projects and the winners!</strong></p>
