your support for our colleague Valentina Dagiene

[Tim Bell]

Some of you may be familiar with the wonderful "Brebras" competition (http://bebras.org/) which was started in Lithuania by Valentina Dagiene, and has now spread around the world, with over a million students participating. Valentina has now quite justifiably been nominated for a "significant contribution" award. If you could take a minute to vote for her, it would be a great way for the CS Unplugged community to show our support for her tireless work. Details are below, but you just need to go to http://www.womenincomputing.eu/awards/list, enter your email address, and confirm the vote when you get an email from them.

Thanks!

Tim Bell
