Yesterday I was in Stockholm representing Creative Commons as a finalist in the Stockholm Challenge awards. The dinner was held at the Stockholm City Hall which also houses the Nobel Prize dinner. I was determined not to be impressed but I must admit it is a very impressive building.
First we had champaigne in the Golden Hall which is a room covered with a gold and glass mosaic made of over 18 million pieces.

This was followed by dinner in the Blue Hall and the winners in each category were announced. For my category (Culture) the project Biblioredes from Chile was the winner.

The whole event was very impressive and the range of projects participating made for a very interesting evening.
