Hello. Last year, Wikimedia Spain had a collaboration with an association of friends of the French St. James Way. That partner provided books as prizes for a special category of WLM contest.[1] It seems that this year they will be partners too, and we could look for more different partners for that. Maybe there could be a special prize for St. James Way at an international level, because St. James Way is present in different European countries. For example, the Way is present also in England, Austria, Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Switzerland, Italy or Portugal. Besides, the Way in Spain and France is recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.[2][3] This is only an idea, so, please feel free to say your opinion. Last week we run an edit-a-thon in Jaca about the Fench St. James Way in Aragon, and during WMCON, I could talk with Anne-Laure Prévost, of Wikimedia France, about starting a project related with this.

Hi Santiago, what a charming idea. It would be wonderful if WLM could help introduce some of these local associations to one another. Sam
