A new initiative is offering a large cash prize for a comprehensive book‑scanning effort. The bounty totals $200,000 and targets the collection of scans for every published title. Organizers compare the goal to the scope of Google Books and similar digitization projects. Participants are expected to locate, digitize, and upload high‑quality images of each volume. The reward will be awarded once the complete set of scans is verified. The effort is coordinated through the Anna’s Archive platform. Successful contributors could help preserve literature and improve access worldwide. The project invites volunteers and professionals to submit their work for evaluation.
