Celebrations for the 20th birthday

On January 15, 2021, Wikipedia will turn 20. For this the event we are organizing:

  • A live on Youtube;
  • A campaign/contest of nursery rhymes and poems (in Italian and English) about what Wikipedia represents for each of us;
  • The participants with the highest score will be offered a gadget and a postcard with the elaborate rhymes.

The texts, released under the free Creative Commons license, will become postcards. All material will be uploaded to Commons under a CC by SA license. The event page on itwiki.

To cover the printing and shipping costs of the gadgets, we asked for (and received) a rapid grant.
