Hi, I'm in charge of code.gouv.fr and I initiated this BlueHats prize.

The money comes from the French government (4x10K€ for the four prizes).

We wanted to do this with NLnet to benefit from their experience and to rely on another entity to transfer the funds.

We received a lot of interesting submissions and asking public administrations who deserves the award is already a very nice exercise. We will write more about the process and the lessons learned after this first (experimental) iteration.
