8) How is the Best Paper Award selected?
  It is chosen by a committee including members of the Programme Committee and the keynote speaker(s). Only papers whose authors are all below the age of 35 are eligible for the award. Single-authored papers will be given priority in selection for the award.

9) What will the winner of the Best Paper Award get?
  The winning paper will be awarded a prize of 200 EUR, but the academic honour is what really counts.
