Hi, To give a little more context: as I indicated on other places as well (and perhaps by other people), competitions across countries are hard to compare because they face very different challenges, and it is even unfair to assume they are the same thing. The goals were not always identical (in some countries a lot of value was added by laying foundations for future projects with the partners or by growing a team of dedicated volunteers where there was none before, in some countries the number of images was the most important factor while in others the long term effects of specific editors was most important - to name a few).
That is not to ridicule the work put into this analysis, I only want to make sure nobody jumps to conclusions here before reading more thoroughly the reports and looking at more data and most importantly: talk with the volunteers who organized the numerous (53 in 2013) competitions. That being said, I think I could agree wholeheartedly if the conclusion were to be "money is usually not the bottle neck" (although there are exceptions).
