    You can read the full details here but Merit Awards are given out four times a year, and Special and Grand Master awards once per year.

    At risk of being redundant, $500 isn't a whole lot for all the time these guys put into their projects.

    On the other hand, the recognition may land them jobs as developers or as managers of a group of developers.
