The first Wiki photo competition (that I'm aware of) was Wikipedia Takes Manhattan in Spring 2008. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Takes_Manhattan/Spring_200...

Hi everyone,

I know we have some "wiki historians," on our mailing lists... I'm crowdsourcing information from the community about when the first:

-GLAM content donation(s) happened -online editing contest(s) (i.e. WikiCup, Iberocoop women contest, type of events) happened -photo competition(s) (i.e. Wiki Takes, Wiki Loves) happened

Now, some of us have different stories than others, and that is OK. I'd love to hear what you think was "the first," in the Wikimedia community.

Your participation is important, as I'll be using this...oral history of sorts - to write brief histories of these three programs for our upcoming Data Collection Survey Report* that the Program Evaluation & Design team is writing. And hopefully these histories will benefit others in the movement.

I won't be tracking or documenting responses on this mailing list, so please share your responses and knowledge on meta. Thank you! Forward as necessary!!
