Hi Jesse,
Thanks for sharing this nice success story!
I’m really happy to hear that over 400 videos were added to articles within three weeks of
your event.
This is a great accomplishment, given that there is still not a lot of video on Wikipedia
at this time. Nicely done!
I just tweeted it here, if you’d like to retweet:

I also recommended it to our social media team, and am sharing it with our multimedia and
commons mailing lists.
Keep up the great work :)
Be well,
Fabrice

Hi all,
I have written a blogpost about our positive(!) experiences with organizing a
video-challenge on the UNESCO World day for Audiovisual Heritage. You can find it here:

Most notably, over 400 videos were added to articles within three weeks.
We're very open to suggestions how we can improve these type of 'contests'
and perhaps there are people who would like to join in for next years' World Day of
Audiovisual Heritage (7th October 2015)? :)
Best,
Jesse
