Please see the sample Editathon/Training application before drafting your application.

Project Goal

1. Add or improve content. We plan to cover the upload session because our newbies once experienced a lot of image deletion from the server after contributing. We will dwell more on copy right issues.

Yes

Due to the pandemic, we are hosting online activities, and we will need internet and laptops for our participants without pc.

This is a follow up from the previous contest (upload session), so we always have a portal to engage our participants.
