Why participate?
▶ Help Wikipedia

Help Wikipedia to minify gender gap and enrich with more diversity.

▶ It’s a great way to experiment and learn more.

The main reason to compete is that you learn a great deal by participating in a competition. It's a great setting to learn in and you can measure your skills in the subject against others, in a fail-safe environment. When producing your contribution, you dig deep down into a subject and become better at it – and it‘s fun! By participating in competitions where the topic is not in your main field – you learn a lot and can also discover that it happened to be exactly that field which you were great at.
