Hello community!
Can you believe it’s already October? From Mid-Autumn festival to Halloween, there are many things to look forward to this month -- including a Fall subathon! Read on to learn more about this year’s Fall Subathon and how to join.
When:
Oct. 18th 00:00 PDT - Oct. 31st 23:59 PDT (Convert to your local time zone here)
How to get the badges:
Contribute 500, 1000, or 5000 subtitles or segments to any Chinese or Taiwanese shows, to qualify for the corresponding autumn-themed bear badge!
Special Badges:
Top 100 badges will be awarded to the top 100 segmenters, and top 100 subtitlers for the following languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, and German.
Why these languages? This is also in honor of Hispanic Heritage Month (Sep. 15 - Oct. 15), and German-American Heritage Month and Italian-American Heritage Month which are in October. (We know the German and Italian Viki communities are all over the world and not just America, so we’d like to think of this as celebrating the German and Italian subtitlers no matter where they live!)
Ready to join?

**As a friendly reminder, before working on a show, be sure to message the Channel Manager or Moderator for your language to let them know you’d like to volunteer!
