Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red/The World Contest/Prizes

Please note that the prize system is still not fully decided upon and may be subject to change during the contest if the mechanism isn't being effective. It is possible that a heavier focus may go into producing diversity but it should be loosely structured this way:

WMF

Take the time to read the Rules as there will be minimum expectations of diversity to be eligible to win a lot of the prizes.

$4025

• $250 - most countries of the world done during the contest, minimum of one entry per country - one prize only, only if multiple people pull off the same amount will the sum by divided and shared.
• $250 - for the editors who produce the most consistently high quality work and take great effort to research each new entry. This will be more difficult to assess who gets what and there are no winners, so just produce great work and hope for the best!

• $150 of prizes for whoever manages to produce an article for every African country, and covering at least five different occupations. If only one person manages it they will get the full $150.
• $250 of prizes - Whoever reviews the most articles during the contest, includes playing a role with judging/double checking entries, copyediting for quality, reviewing Good articles if needs be, the people who work hardest on that should get decent prizes I think.
