What did not work so well?
- Our international prizes for Wiki Loves Folklore were less as compared to that of other competition.
- We couldn't support community which needed translation from English to French
- Local prizes for Feminism and Folklore were very less as compared to other writing competition
- We had limited resources for awareness and engagement with local NGOs and cultural heritage partners round the globe.
- We could only help participants with digital postcards and couldn't deliver them physical postcard as postal system were closed.
- War in Ukraine shook the project as many European participants were in rescue efforts.
- Increasing dollar prizes made grant money of less worth while actual distribution of prizes.
- We had issues while doing prize distribution for winners from sanction countries.
What would you do differently next time?
- We are going to take a general support grant next year. Allocate funds appropriately and increase the amounts and number of winners for winners as well as budget.
- We are going to send physical postcards to participants.
- We will coordinate with various Wikimedia chapters and local NGO of different countries to participate in next year contest.
- We will have provision in the grants which will be able to provide stipend to users who need internet support for jury of Wiki Loves Folklore and Feminism and Folklore.
- As requested in the previous two iterations, we will hire a French interpreter for our meetings with French-speaking community coordinators for the next iteration.
- Send goodies and Tshirt gift, physical certificates, hampers to jury and national as well as international coordinators and members of international Team for their efforts for the project.
- Have dedicated email/chat/chatbot support for users who need help for creating of articles and uploading of images.
