Activities

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:

Possible programme
  • Social media Wikipedia contest/engagement

1. What content will the contest focus on, and why is it important to your community?

The contest will be a public engagement contest, which will focus on the brand awareness of Wikipedia. Like stated above, the public will be called to submit one-minute videos explaining why they love Wikipedia. These videos will be shared on a central Social Media page and users will be asked to invite their friends to like their videos, which will cause a ripple effect. The contest will span a period of one month and winners will be announced weekly, and a grand prize winner will emerge on the fourth week.

2. How will you let people know about the contest?

We'll building awareness for the contest mainly through Social Media (Facebook and Instagram) ads. However, relevant information will also be shared on the Facebook page and twitter page, etc

3. How will you judge the contest and award prizes?

The video with the highest views and likes for each week (for 3 weeks) will be rewarded with standard Smartphone mobile phones. The overall highest views and likes, will be rewarded with Samsung Galaxy A30, on the fourth week.
