Could it be Wiki Loves Festivals as I'd have trouble selling Wiki Loves Folk as having anything to do with festivals when the actual interpretation would be people. Its a similar problem Australia has been faced with with WLM in that the understanding of what Monuments are and the scope of the project clash.  Outside that its a good idea that would be able to be replicated in many places

Hi all!

Today starts a new photo contest organized by Wikimedia Spain and focused on festivals declared of touristic interest in Spain: Wiki Loves Folk. The contest aims to collect images freely licensed to illustrate content on these festivals in Wikipedia and enhance the online presence of Spanish folklore. Along with its monumental and environmental richness, Spain has a rich and varied folklore: carnivals, food festivals, religious celebrations as Easter or Corpus Christi, cultural and sporting events or popular festivals, among others.

It is about sharing original photographs, taken recently or in the past, between April 1 and 30, 2016 or, in a second period, between November 15 and December 15, 2016. The subject of the contest is all those festivals declared of touristic interest by the various administrations: international, national, regional, provincial and local levels. The complete list, with additional information and a map for each region is available at [http://wikilov.es/folk wikilov.es/folk], the competition website. To participate, simply have an user account on Wikimedia Commons and upload the pictures by following the steps on the web.

Best,

Rubén Ojeda | Programme Coordinator | Wikimedia España
