Part 1 Understanding your work
[edit]1. Briefly describe how your proposed activities and strategies were implemented
Before the beginning of the competition we've prepared pages for Kazakhstan round in three languages and translated international round pages to Russian and Kazakh. Also we've made few news reports about oncoming competition in local, Wikimedia-related and country-wide news. During the competition we answered participants' questions and monitored uploads for obvious copyright violations. After the downloads finished we've evaluated all pictures in 4 rounds and got 10 winners as a result; photos of those winners were sent to an international round.
2. Were there any strategies or approaches that you felt were effective in achieving your goals? Please describe these strategies and approaches.
Before the competition we've launched news reports on our plans in local, Wikimedia-related (Russian Wikinews) and country-wide news. As a result most of the participants were new to a Wikimedia movement (only few were old accounts 2 of whom were jury members and 2 others — their acquaintances) and most of asked ones (winners and some other participants) came from country-wide (TengriNews) news report. This shows the low efficiency of Russian Wikinews in approaching people in Kazakhstan and good efficiency of country-wide media over local ones.

4. To what extent do you agree with the following statements regarding the work carried out with the support of this Fund? You can choose “not applicable” if your work does not relate to these goals.

5. Is there anything else you would like to share about how your efforts helped to bring in participants and/or build out content, particularly for underrepresented groups?
We've noticed that our two most productive content creators (Екатерина Борисова and Marat Rysbekov) are elders (both 60+). We're thinking about strategies to approach more active elders in 2023.
Part 2: Your main learning
[edit]6. In your application, you outlined your learning priorities. What did you learn about these areas during this period?
Our key changes in the next year will be approaching newcommers through country-wide media and developing a strategy to approach active elders.
7. Did anything unexpected or surprising happen when implementing your activities?This can include both positive and negative situations. What did you learn from those experiences?
We had no unexpected events or outcomes. Most unexpected was high number of participants.
8. How do you hope to use this learning? For instance, do you have any new priorities, ideas for activities, or goals for the future?
Generally in 2023 our approach will stay the same. We want to implement only slight corrections listed above.
