> - The point system has been overhauled and now every task is worth one

> Grand Prize winners based on the overall complete body of work of those 5

> - There will be 10 Mentoring Orgs for a total of 20 Grand Prize Winners
> (compared to 10 last year).
> - Translation tasks will no longer be a part of the Google Code-in
> contest, either as its own category or as a part of documentation efforts.
> - If students want to go for the Grand Prize they will work
> predominantly with one org and will hopefully become involved with the
> community of that org and will stay long after the GCI contest is over.
> - Students will not earn cash prizes for their work. They will earn
> certificates and t-shirts and then they can go for the grand prize if they
> wish.
> - The contest was shortened by a week at the beginning of the contest
> period so it will now start after the Thanksgiving holidays in the USA.
