Thanks you Roger, I think Cesare Orselli and the Centro Studi Mascagnani had the project of a competition last year, but I haven't heard anything since then, so I assume that the competition didn't take place (but I may be wrong - I will try to inquire). This is a good idea but I guess would require a little funding. -Erik PS: I apologize for the weird headers you may have seen in the list's emails lately - I have some things yet to sort out!
