Last year, UpStage received special mention in the the Creativity category of the New Zealand Open Source Awards. This category didn’t exist until we asked the organisers why there wasn’t a category for the arts. UpStage met the criteria for both the education category and the community category, but didn’t have a chance in either because it’s not our main purpose. As we weren’t the only project in this situation, the organisers created a new category, Creativity.

Now, UpStage has been nominated for the SourceForge Community Choice Awards; have we got a chance in “Best Project”, or “Most Likely To Change The World” …?? we’re still missing the arts category!
