Maybe it could be a race to see who can liberate the most data during the duration of the datafest, and measure it in bites of data. So instead of 'best dataset opened', 'most datasets opened'. Any thoughts?

Adding to Daniel ideas, which cover main possibilities, I would suggest
to ask the PSI holders to write a brief justification in terms of
potential commercial value or potential impact in citizens life (for me
the most important criteria with the format). This way it would be
easier for the jury to judge.

I do not like the idea of rewarding only the size of the dataset or a
linked data release.
