[Wikinews-l] International Wikinews Writing Contest

Thu Aug 18 02:34:39 UTC 2005

I've promised a few people that I would set this up:

It's an attempt to increase the story output on Wikinews across all 
languages, inspired by the English writing contest in April. The basic 
idea is simple: Each contestant needs to write a story a day, or use a 
joker if available. When one fails to write a story within 24 hours, and 
runs out of jokers, one drops out of the contest. The last three persons 
to remain in the contest will be the winners.

Please comment, translate or edit the rules and instructions. We need 
prizes, judges from each language, and contestants. So, please spread 
the word about this. I would like it to begin on September 1, 2005.

Best,

Erik
