This is a public writing competition around the city of Umeå’s culture and history. The goal of this first edition is to improve and translate this list of 40 important places that we hope to put a QRpedia sign next to, into as many languages as possible. These are some of the most central articles to read to understand Umeå, be it as a new immigrant, a tourist or a long time inhabitant. The winners will receive great prizes.

The contest is organized and led by Wikimedia Sverige: We want to try out the Wikipedia city idea in Sweden as we think that it is fantastic to make culture easily accessible for tourists and immigrants in the city! Now when Umeå is the European Capital of Culture a lot of people are visiting the city. We will use the lessons learned and continue with other cities and make Sweden into a Wikipedia country! Help us make this a success!
