Hi Aubrey! I'll be away for some months, but on ca-ws there will be a contest anyhow, this is the project page: https://ca.wikisource.org/wiki/Viquitexts:Viquirepte_Jocs_Florals_de_Barcelona
KRLS will be there coordinating and running the bot :) So exciting! I hope there will be more contests this year!
