Wikipedia:Project Tiger Writing Contest

Project Tiger Writing Contest

From 2017 to 2018, the Wikimedia Foundation and Google were working in close coordination with the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS), Wikimedia India chapter (WMIN) and user groups in piloting a program to encourage Wikipedia communities in the creation of locally relevant and high-quality content in Indian languages.

Project Tiger writing contest has a special focus to create articles that are most sought out by users online but not yet present in Indian language Wikipedias. By this focus, we hope to serve as many people with free knowledge.

Participating language communities would compete for three months. Besides individual prizes for top contributors, the winning community will be supported to get an exclusive capacity building training event to improve their skills for contributing to Wikipedia.

Rules

Prizes

Each month three individual prizes will be awarded to the top three contributors from each participating community, based on their net contribution(s) for the month. The prizes will be worth 3,000 INR, 2000 INR, and 1,000 INR respectively.
At the end of the three-month-long contest, the community with the maximum number of articles expanded or created will win a community prize. This will be an exclusive 3-day capacity training event for the winning community.
Considering the disproportionate strength of English Wikipedia community in India when compared to other Indian language Wikipedia communities, the English Wikipedia community will not be counted for the community capacity development prize. However, English Wikipedians can compete for the individual prizes.
