The idea of a "cookie" as a prize came from our GSoC 2010 application. If we would got it it would be as a big chocolate cake gift for all of us. As we did not get it a consolation prize would be like a cookie :-), without economical stipend but with a gift as a reward and all community appreciation.

This gift is a gesture contributed anonymously and chosen arbitrarily, not having any relationship with the manufacturer of the product delivered.

During prize voting period all U++ Forum users can vote to two different candidates through a PM. U++ main authors, Cookie Prize organization and last year winner can vote but are excluded as candidates.
