Free Knowledge Award
Wikimedia RU Award
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Free Knowledge Award was an award presented by Wikimedia RU, a Russian nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting encyclopedic knowledge.[1] The prize was awarded to individuals or organizations who are not active participants in Wikimedia Foundation projects, but who have made a notable contribution to the goals of the Wikimedia movement: the dissemination of free knowledge. It has been awarded annually since 2014.[2]
The Free Knowledge Award winners were determined in two stages. First, the wiki community nominated candidates and voted, which resulted in a short list. From this list, Wikimedia RU members selected 3-4 winners, taking into account the arguments presented. The winners were announced directly at the ceremony.
