Hello Community!

Summer is officially here — a time for graduations, celebrations, and long, sunny days! We’re kicking things off in this newsletter by honoring our latest Academy graduates and announcing a brand-new community challenge where you can earn exclusive badges. Whether you’re traveling or enjoying a staycation, we want to know: what’s on your Viki watchlist this season? We’d love for you to share your recommendations in the comments below. Happy summer, everyone!

Are You Up for the Challenge? The Summer Subtitle Trails Await!

From June 21, 2026 at 12:01 AM UTC to July 12, 2026 at 11:59 PM UTC, join a cabin (Otter/Fox/Hawk/Bear) to meet other Contributors, post a quick intro + your goal in roll call, and earn Trail badges as your contribution points add up – climbing from Camper (100) all the way to the ultra-rare Campfire Myth (15,000). Plus, the Top 100 Contributors will receive a special badge. More information here | Join here. (All times UTC; convert here).

Final push for the Q2 Top 100!

As we head into the final stretch of Q2, now is the perfect time to make your move for a spot on the quarterly Top 100 Contributors list. Keep up the great work — your Q2 badges will be heading your way shortly after we wrap up the quarter in June!

The world of Viki is a very northern-hemisphere orientated place :slightly_smiling_face: Where I live in the southern hemisphere, winter has arrived.

Thank you so much! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:
This NSSA segging experience was so interesting and cool!
The senseis, the pannelists, the exam coordinator and the moderator, as well as our beloved Beverley had all been super patient, supportive and explained things very well. :innocent:
I really want to take this opportunity to thank them all for that. :revolving_hearts:
