Agreed.
Italian Wikisource already decided that we will run this contest every year
:-D
The stats for us are unbelievable:

but all thanks to the wikipedia sitenotice, which gives has been giving a
lot of visibility to the contest page:

Hi,
I must say that this contest really works well as a "excuse" to ask for
promotion that otherwise wouldn't happen.
So far, thanks to the contest, the Catalan Wikisource appeared in at least
6 websites/blogs/news outlet, some of them minor, but other as important
for us as the National Library of Catalonia (who were so kind to announce
us on their facebook and twitter accounts).
So I recommend to take advantage of the opportunity and contact AS MANY
BLOGS AND ORGANIZATIONS AS POSSIBLE, even better if they are libraries or
literary blogs. It doesn't matter if you think it is too late for
participating or not worth the effort, they can also inform about the
results :)
I can attest that it does work as a promotion tool and letting people be
more aware of our existence :)
