Hi,
hope all fine :)
This is to inform you about Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM) 2012, a global
public photo contest around monuments, organized by Wikimedia chapters and
groups. WLM was first organised in Netherlands in 2010, while
18 European countries participated in 2011. In total, more than
*165,000* pictures
of European monuments were uploaded in 2011.
Happy to inform you that, this year, Indian community is confirmed to
participate in the international
contest<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012>.
Photo contests and events have been organised in India till 2011, however
in different cities at different period of time. In an attempt to organise
the contest nationally, we will need some dedicated volunteers who can
assist us in following ways:
- Helping to prepare the list of monuments
- Coordinating in your own city
- Online support, especially from Wikimedia Commons users while pre,
during and post the contest for categorization, OTRS team, and many more
stuff's
Anyone interested are welcome to sign-up at the volunteers section! [1] Do
use Commons event talk page for discussion.
