What if ?

Re: What happens after 6 months?

What if. . . instead of having GALA become an imitation of many
other professional organizations, it became an organization in which
cooperation rather than competition were the norm? For example,
instead of offering a prize for the best paper  (something that
rewards competition and individualism) there would be a prize for the
best collaboration between an established scholar and a student or
independent scholar (something which rewards collaboration and
mentoring)?
