This is a collaborative resource originally put together by WWF Switzerland for use by WWF & the Impact Hub network.
We created this resource as a way of sharing our experiences and have now decided to open source this to be of benefit to other teams looking to run crowdsourcing challenges. In exchange for keeping the resource free, we ask for your feedback and stories to improve and develop the content.
