OPEN CALL FOR
SUBMISSIONS
Join the NYC 400 Campaign marking New York City’s 400th birthday!*
Help us spotlight New York City’s rich diversity by updating or creating Wikipedia
articles for 400 neighborhoods and remarkable individuals. We’re calling on the
public to nominate 400 impactful New Yorkers and 400 NYC neighborhoods that
deserve a place on Wikipedia but aren’t yet featured or need to be updated.
Submissions are open from January 25 to March 31—don’t miss this chance to
celebrate NYC’s history and culture!
Submissions are currently closed and nominations are currently being reviewed
by the jury. Stay tuned for the announcement of the Wikimedia NYC 400 in May!
* While we recognize that New York City is older than 400 years due to historical inaccuracies
in its officially recorded age, the NYC 400 Campaign uses this milestone as a symbolic marking of the city’s
rich history and cultural legacy. Our history extends well beyond its official 400 years on the city seal, and
we especially aim to include the diversity of Lenape settlements that preceded colonization, as well as other
neighborhoods often left out.
