Yes, only Polish projects. And there is one more thing worth mentioning - this year the jury picked from all Wikimedia Poland actions, initiatives and projects from the last 4 years. Next year they will only pick from projects organized in 2015. We decided to include older projects because we really felt that there were some nice ideas in the past and we wanted them to have a chance of winning.
