Dear all,
We have an important update to share with you. Taking into account the
spread of COVID-19, the International organizing team has decided to extend
the WLE 2020 *till the end of July*. So the overall timeline is:
- May 1 – July 31: national competitions
- End of August: deadline for submissions
- October-November: deadline for the international results
This way, there is more time to organize your local contests until the
situation gets better.
As always, local teams are free to decide when exactly to hold their
contests within the international timeframe, though we advise to hold a
contest for no less than two weeks and no more than two months.
Here you can get more information about *restrictions for offline public
events *we have and our advice on how to handle the situation — w.wiki/KiE.
We hope that the world health situation will get better soon. Still, we can
encourage our participants to make a positive impact online by uploading
photos of natural heritage sites that they already have or improve
Wikipedia / other wikiprojects on related topics.
If you have any question, please, don't hesitate to write to us at
wle-team(a)wikimedia.org.ua.
Hope to work with you soon, stay safe and healthy!
Best regards,
Anastasiia Petrova
Project Manager for International Wiki Loves Earth 2020
