I do agree. In Amical we regularly organize small one-week long online writing contest regarding local Music Festivals, ComicCons or similar. We get in touch with new organisations, reach to new communities and get quite a lot of press atention with relatively small organizing effort and one small prize.

This is an excellent event idea, congratulations to Wikimedia Norway for organising it. It is also a brilliant example of how Chapters and other groups around the world can take responsability for topics that have particular local relevance to them, and take a leadership role in the worldwide movement in the process. In this case (an announcement of global interest, but made in a particular building in a particular city) it also highlights wikimedia as not just a virtual community, but a physical one, and that the two work in tandem.
