<span class="mw-headline"></span></h2><h2><span class="mw-headline">Wiki Loves Art / NL</span></h2>
<p>In the month of June Wikimedia Nederland organized together with
local partners a Dutch version of Wiki Loves Art. Over 45 museums
participated, more then 200 people registered in the Flickr group and
over 5400 freely licenced photos were submitted. Amongst the
participating museums were the Van Gogh museum , Tropenmuseum, Boijmans
van Beuningen and The Gemeentemuseum. Participating museums were all
around the country.</p>
<p>Most museums were allowing photographing the whole month, while some
museums organized special events for the photographers. Van Gogh
organized two special slots of two hour to photograph, without public,
on June 23 and 28.</p>
<p>Wiki loves art / NL got quite some press coverage, including
articles in national newspapers and reports on national television. The
majority of reactions on the project were very positive. During Wiki
Loves Art, several events were organized in cooperation with the
museums.</p>
<p>July and August will be used for categorizing, uploading and judging
the photos. Ten photographers will win prizes, including a cheque of
500 euros to spend on photographic equipment for the best photo.</p>
