Dear Freesounders,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wikimedia Foundation, the global nonprofit that hosts Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, including our audiovisual repository the Wikimedia Commons<\/a>, is hosting a global contest for The Sound of All Human Knowledge<\/a>. Submissions are open now through 10 October<\/strong>. The Wikimedia sound logo will be used to identify Wikimedia content across a wide range of uses and smart devices, including personal voice assistants. You can learn more about the contest<\/a> on wiki, including campaign materials and how-to videos. There is also a humble prize for the winning sound. The Freesound community is primed to participate<\/strong> since you already have a knowledge of and appreciation for audio and free licensing. As the organizers, we warmly invite the Freesound community to take part in this global contest. We’d love to hear from you and please help us reverberate the call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wikimedia sites receive 750 million page views a day<\/a> and that knowledge is further reused by search engines, other platforms, and applications that don\u2019t consistently inform their users that what they are learning comes from Wikimedia<\/a> and the thousands of volunteers around the world who contribute. Voice assistants are on the rise everywhere<\/a> in the world and while there is a lot of expertise in our movement when it comes to visual logos and photo competitions<\/a>, we are excited to be exploring new parameters when it comes to sound and audio production. Play your part in our global search. On September 29 we had a drop-in clinic <\/a>with our expert partners MassiveMusic, you can find some information in the link above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
