My Fellow Wikimedians,
We wish to encourage everyone you to draft your answers to the scholarship
application questions stated at
https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2023:Scholarship_Questions first on a
notepad before submitting your application on the limesurvey (scholarship
application form).
The answers submitted on the limesurvey are considered final and cannot be
edited. We also discourage applicants doing a duplicate submission.
Deadline for application submission is on 5 February, 2023 (Sunday) at
23:59 AoE (UTC-12).
Kind regards,
Butch Bustria
ESEAP Wikimania 2023 Core Organizing Team
Hello everyone,
Scholarship applications for Wikimania 2023 are now open until Sunday, 5
February! Wikimania 2023 will be held in Singapore from 16–19 August. This
year, we aim to be inclusive for Wikimedians worldwide in line with this
edition’s theme: “Diversity. Collaboration. Future.”
Scholarships for Wikimania 2023 are available in different types for
traveling to Singapore:
-
Full scholarship: travel, accommodation, and registration are provided;
-
Partial scholarship: accommodation and registration are provided.
All scholarship recipients are covered by Wikimedia Foundation Travel
Insurance Policy.
Whereas scholarship recipients have historically written a report to
fulfill scholarship requirements, this year they will have the opportunity
to do volunteer tasks during Wikimania. The Committee will work with
recipients to find a volunteer role that suits each recipient’s skills and
experience. Scholarship recipients opting to volunteer rather than write a
report will be asked to volunteer for 2 hours over the course of Wikimania,
with the option to volunteer more hours if desired.
Apply now! <https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/799477> Make sure to
share your experiences during your Wikimedia movement journey and support
with links. Newcomers to Wikimedia will be considered. The deadline to
apply for a scholarship is 5th February, end of the day anywhere in the
world. Applicants will be notified of decisions in May.

Dear all,
If you would like to host Wikimania in your locale in 2024 or beyond, the
process to express interest in hosting is open:
https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/2024:Expressions_of_Interest
We have decided to keep the process open for a couple more weeks to give
some extra time to put in new expressions of interest and also for teams to
work on and fill out the ones that have been submitted so far. Thanks to
everyone who has submitted!
The new deadline is January 8th - and the Wikimania steering committee will
deliberate after that. Remember that you can express your interest in
hosting the conference in 2024 and beyond.
Don't forget to write about:
- your team! do you have an existing group of Wikimedians who have worked
on events? Would you like to use the event to recruit new Wikimedians to
your group? Do you have a regional collaboration?
- Your vision and goal for the conference. Why do you want Wikimania to be
held in your area?
You don't need to have a venue or logistics. But if you have ideas (are
there particular places you can imagine, or many options? Places similarly
sized conferences have been?) then tell us about them!
Wikimania is extraordinary and we want to hear from you. Please let the
Wikimania steering committee know if you have any questions.
best,
Phoebe
