Hi everyone!
Over the weekend, everyone who successfully participated in the previous round received their rewards! This included two special prize winners, who I am pleased to announce here today for you all.
Firstly, the prize for best single submission to the archiving campaign goes to
pushups44! This was a tough call as so many great submissions were reported! Our favourite archive was this one:
https://arweave.net/513NnyApGLKdtmgcQXS7Ofp9FyI1Ua1ia8t0DvtYYug - a discussion of new piece of legislation aimed at preventing discrimination against people due to their genetic makeup. This archive is educational, and on a fascinating topic that is likely to become extremely important in the future. Pushups44 also archived many other fascinating pieces of future history, including a transcription of Donald Trumps State of the Union speech (

Secondly and finally, our prize for best overall archiver for this period goes to
Bullbearsaur! Not only did you submit the most valid archives out of anyone during this period, you did excellently avoiding copyright infringing content while archiving a wide variety of sources and information. Some examples of Bullbearsaur's archives include the governments position statements on international conflicts (
