Wikivoyage 10
Wikivoyage is ten years being part of the Wikimedia family. To celebrate, Wikimedia Small Projects with the support of the linguistic communities involved in the project, have organized this contest to raise awareness of the language versions of the project and get more people on board.
Rules of participation
The global rules are listed here. Additionally, each participating language community was offered the opportunity to use the global awarding criteria or to create its own local criteria.
Awarding points is at the sole discretion of the judges. Wikimedia Small Projects will award prizes based on the decision made by them.
