Wikimedia Australia/GLAM challenge

In the lead up to GLAM-WIKI (August 6-7), Wikimedia Australia is holding an editors' challenge (like a friendly competition) with the overall theme of "Australian GLAM". GLAM stands for "Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums".

This challenge is open to all editors across all the Wikimedia projects. The idea is to pick your own editing theme and submit it, along with the edits you make related to it. Prizes will be awarded for the most extensive, creative, impressive, novel, broad, deep, etc edits. Please contribute in line with the projects policies. Any plagiarism will disqualify your entry.

To take part, sign your username under #Entrants before the challenge dates open. Create a user subpage (e.g. Special:Mypage/GLAM challenge) and on that page, write the theme you are choosing. List any edits you make in relation to this challenge, on that page. e.g. if you only work on a single article, list that article, otherwise, list diffs. Only list edits made during the challenge dates. When the challenge closes, put a link to your subpage next to your name under #Entrants.

This challenge is being coordinated by User:Gnangarra.
