Prepare for your event
Communicate about your activities National Juries As an organizing team, you may decide to organize a National best images selection process, with national winners. Most organizing teams do that. But this is not mandatory. Unlike Wiki Loves Monument, the national selections and the international selection are independent.
So if you want to organize a best national images selection, a ceremony, gifts for national winners, certificate... please do. It is great. But it is also fine to not have a national winner selection. Some countries do not have enough volunteers to run a selection process and ceremony. This is absolutely fine. Please do what is best for you.
If you want to organize a national selection process, please check these Jury process guidelines .
You can see national winners of 2021 .
It is not mandatory to run a pretty successful activity, however that could boost your range and impact. You can apply for Rapid Grants offered by the Wikimedia Foundation at Project/Rapid .
Mind the deadline for applications. The deadline to submit is 1st Dec 2022.
To help you in your request of Rapid Grant, we propose slots of Office Hours.
