as i’ve already stated in the voting in chat, I am in favor of returning all crystals to the giver, but can totally understand Michael’s idea behind leaving some for the next contest that the reformed jury may hold.
Below is the original roadmap from the proposal of creating W&D(Free TON Web & Design Sub-Governance - #16 by Riemann) . I suggest to remove a few contests from it and then take it as a core for the reformed subgovernence.
Which contests we may consider to remove from the list:
- 1 or 2 of Infographic videos contests, as there was already held explainer video contest
- 1 (out of 2, not totally) Infographics and schemes contests, as we had Greetings cards contests, which cuts into these costs
- Merchandise design could be cut down in the cost a bit.
These are just suggestions, but we have to consider the budget that was already spent.

Contest that I would consider as a priority one should be one that is related to the design kit. Imo it’s really important to have ready made elements and style solutions in figma for developers to make use of it, so they can focus on building useful tools instead of thinking how should this or that button look like.
In the end all of the Kit (UI, illustrations, mobile, infographics, etc.) contests winning works should be united into one Free TON design kit, where you would see different pages with:
Styles (logos, colors, typography, etc.)
Components (text fields, buttons, etc.)
Illustrations
Presentation templates
Links/showcase to alternative variants of the kits (which should be left after contests).
