[Wikimedia-l] The Europeana Fashion Challenge

[John Andersson]

Sorry, but my email became messed up so here we go again:


Hi everybody!

I just wanted to highlight our online contest, the Europeana Fashion Challenge.[1] We launched the Challenge during a week when three fashion edit-a-thons took place: in Sweden, Israel and Italy and the idea with the contest is to increase retention rate amongst the beginners and to attract more people to take part online. The edit-a-thons were productive, however, we have been having a hard time getting the participants/fashion experts to
 sign up and participate in the contest so far. I am saying so far as 
there still is 16 days left of the contest!

Now I would ask all 
of you smart people for help! First of all to take a close look on the 
pages for the Challenge and see if there is anything we could change to 
make it easier to 
participate? Secondly, to spread the word about the contest so that 
other people take part! Everybody are welcome and there is a really nice book bundle sponsored by ten different fashion museums.[2]
