Comment. This is a great idea for scholarly societies. Sponsor an essay contest for young researchers with the stipulation that winning entries will be posted on the society web site under CC licenses. Encourage research and OA at the same time. Congratulations to ICAZ for the idea and to the winners for their research.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
