The competition was fierce but teachers from Minnesota to California will be getting a very special package all the way from Madiswil, Switzerland this month.

The First Annual Vision Chocolate Challenge launched with a bang this year on Valentine's Day with teachers from all over the country submitting their short essays and comments about using Vision in their classrooms.

The President of MasterSolution, Kirk Greiner, will be flying to our home office in Switzerland on April 12th so we can give away over 30 pounds of yummy Swiss chocolate to the winners. When asked how he feels about bringing back a suitcase full of chocolate, Kirk said "Well, I'm not sure it will all make it back, I mean it is a REALLY long flight".

Chocolate and free software is going to these lucky teachers:
