It has been proposed that we have an annual competition to recognise the contribution of UK Wikimedians. The idea started last year when Fae and Roger wrote a GLAM blog post where we recognised Matthew Cock's contribution to our mission. (He is the manager at the BM who agreed to host the first Wikipedian in Residence). The UK board have had some discussions and we are open to suggestions for most of it. However we have decided that we will decide who gets "UK Wikimedian of the Year" (that will save lots of COI debates about how that one is awarded). The price we pay for that is that we can't be nominated.  
The '''UK Wikimedian of the Year''' is an annual award given by Wikimedia UK to thank those in the UK or abroad who have helped the UK Wikimedia movement. These volunteers and institutions have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help bring open knowledge to all.


What we thought was :-
The prizes were first awarded at [[WikiConference UK 2012]] at the Science Museum on 12 May 2012. The purpose of the awards is to recognise achievement - and inspire efforts for next year!
