>> Hi all,

>>   47 people have nominated themselves and 25 of them will make it to the

>>
>> Some people who fit this description are:

>>
>> Jonathan Gray (Open Knowledge)

>> Gill Hamilton (National Library of Schotland)

>> Paul Keller (Kennisland)

>> Merete Sanderhoff (Statens Museum for Kunst)

>> And more, have a look at all of them here

>> It would be amazing if you take two minutes to have a look and vote.
>> Nominations close 7th of November, this Friday.
>>
>>
>>
>> (to be a candidate, or to vote, you must first be a member of the
>> Europeana Network - which just requires filling out this form online
