The prize

WageIndicator Foundation puts up the prize of a minimum (monthly/weekly) wage for each country where the system is online.
Payment of the prize money takes place in January 2011; WageIndicator Foundation takes care of the transfer costs to countries where the prize is less than € 300, in countries within Europe transfer costs are split even.
Not all countries are equal, where the minimum wages are relatively high, as in most EU-member states, the prize is a minimum weekly wages. That's a fair deal. The list below indicates in which countries the monthly or weekly minimum wages currently apply. If a minimum wage per month is more then € 350, the winner of the country will get a minimum wage of a week.
The minimum wages given are updated every calendar year on January 1rst and are the latest. Should you nevertheless find fault with any of them, please notify by giving the source of your alternative figure so that a proper assessment may be made. Such suggestions should reach the WageIndicator Foundation ultimately till December 1rst 2010.
