<This is a poor translation of the preliminary Award (see PDF).>
I want to thank the 7 individual authors of 12 studies in this competition.
I noticed that 5 of 7 authors have something in common: they read French. Which is a good thing. For my judgment is written in French (here translated).
I was scared at the beginning not to meet with studies that meet my taste: some sacrifices accompanied by surprising hits crowned with a good draw.
My fears were allayed. The proof: I retained 5 from 12 studies. Nevertheless, I regret some studies that have been victims of inaccuracies. The final judgment will be effective December 31, 2015.
