Abstract:

The essential goal of this bike quest is to expand the pool of both participants and content type for established photo contest formats like Wiki Loves Monuments. Additionally it provides a novel framework in which a greater level of control is offered to the participants – they not only compete with material but also have the freedom to design their participation strategy themselves. Also by catering to the bike community it allows attracting a previously uninvolved community, under the mantra "they'll go on their bikes anyway, why not encouraging them to take photos while they're at it?".

How will this session be beneficial for the communities in the region of CEE?

Insight into a gamified format of encouraging the involvement of new communities – in this case the bicycle community. Attendees can learn about the advantages and risks of such format, as well as regional peculiarities. Given the novelty of the format, I will also share what did not work on our first try and how we tweaked the rules to address those flaws.
