Anyone with a Wikimedia account can participate in the competition. We use a tool called the Programs & Events Dashboard to keep track of the participants' contributions.
How to enroll
You have to allow the Dashboard of at least one of the 3 categories to track your contributions. In case you want to participate in more than one category, you have to enroll in the other Dashboard(s) as well.
Once you are enrolled, your edits to Wikidata items about museums in the chosen country are tracked in the Dashboard.

You can enroll at any time during the competition. If you make any edits to museum items after the start of the competition, but before enrolling, they count towards your score.

How to find items to edit
Overview
There are several ways to find interesting Wikidata items to edit.
If you want to add data about a specific museum, type in the institution’s name in the search field on Wikidata.
Visit the WikiProject Museums in order to find inspiration about what to add to Wikidata items about museums.
We prepared queries to help you find museums, people as well as objects and events in the five countries and get an overview of how well they are described on Wikidata, using selected properties and label descriptions.
You can use these queries to identify items in need of improvement.
