==UK Wikimedian of the Year==
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.
We are having an annual competition to recognise the contribution of UK Wikimedians, GLAMs, Educational Institutions and a Special award. The UK board have had some discussions and 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 the board pay for that is that they can't be nominated.
