I cant see any relation in the "literature" regarding photo contests prizes and monthly average wage :-)
So our study was based on local photo contests prizes, international prizes and a reasonable value for a non-profit organization in a way that the value is interesting for a amateur or a professional to spend some time loading photos on commons, since great part of the Brazilians don't know our mission and what Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons our Wikimedia Foundation really is! During WLE 2015 we spent R$10.000 in two categories: best photo and best contributions For each category the prizes was: 1º R$2000 2º R$1500 3º R$1000 TOTAL: R$10.000 - 4.453 photos - 411 uploaders Now for WLM 2015 we announced just one category, best photos with R$6.000 in prizes 1º R$3.000,00 2º R$2.000,00 3º R$1.000,00 TOTAL: R$6.000 - ~13.000 photos - ~2.000 uploaders There are a lot of variables, but the value of the prizes and categories can influence the final results for sure.

Isn't that something like 5-30 times the monthly average wage in Brazil, with the R$2.000 1st prize for WLM being around the average monthly wage? http://www.tradingeconomics.com/brazil/wages <http://www.tradingeconomics.com/brazil/wages> Thanks, Mike _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe> _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
