More info, quoting Google's Stephanie Taylor:

Org Admin’s Dashboard will display the Top 10 students. Define:
a) 2 Grand Prize winners,
b) 1 Backup Winner (in case another org chooses one of your Grand Prize winners or they are disqualified for some reason, etc.)
c) 2 more Finalists

Criteria to apply: 1) quality of work, 2) thoroughness of work, 3) creativity of their work. You Community involvement like helping other students on IRC etc. can be included.

Students who have been Grand Prize Winners in the past are not eligible to be winners again (and Google will filter out). They can be named as Finalists however.

Do not announce winners or finalists before February 08, 16:00 UTC.

Can we please ask the (most active?) mentors to privately email us with any additional information/summary/whatever they feel relevant about the 10 finalists?
