Re: [libreoffice-marketing] Excel World Championship - something similar for LibreOffice?

I would suggest to avoid any competition where there is a possibility of 
one user's solution being publicly "challenged" by a more adept user. 
There could be suggestions to improve a submission, however, one user's 
knowledge/ability may be quite different from another. We should avoid 
anything that would come close to "shaming" a submitter.

Also, keep in mind that someone's workflow may be the impetus as to why 
the process of their submission may be the reason for which they are 
suggesting in their submission.

As a good example of such a competition is the Canadian Geographic 
Magazine yearly photography competition where for this year they got 
over 14,000 submissions and chose but a few winners. However, there is a 
lot of positive talk of their competition submitters from the organizers 
[https://canadiangeographic.ca/articles/announcing-the-winners-of-the-2023-canadian-wildlife-photography-of-the-year-competition/].
