[Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: [Foundation-l] Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 -- global?

Sun Dec 18 16:33:28 UTC 2011

We did a monument walk in Bhubaneswar, Odisha in Oct, more than 5
professional photographers joined and clicked, finally it was me who
uploaded my own photos in Flikr and Commons. So such events need more
Wikipedian-Photographers with some newbies.

>>>>> Wiki Loves Monuments is a photo contest organized in 2010 and 2011 in,
>>>>> respectively, the Netherlands and in Europe. The contest asks the
>>>>> general audience to upload pictures of monumental/historical sites and
>>>>> buildings during September. It has a federal structure and is organised
>>>>> separately in every participating country by the local people who know
>>>>> how things work in their area; best photos from all countries are
>>>>> nominated for an international contest.
>>>>>
>>>>> In 2011 this contest was very successful, with more than 165.000 photos
>>>>> of monuments in 18 participating countries submitted in total. This was
>>>>> possible thanks to the hard work of hundreds of volunteers in those
>>>>> countries who helped organise Wiki Loves Monuments in one way or
>>>>> another. The winning pictures have been published on
>>>>> <http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu> and on Wikimedia Commons:
>>>>> <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011_winners>.
>>>>>
>>>>> Besides the wonderful direct impact on the overall quality and coverage
>>>>> of heritage and culture topics, Wiki Loves Monuments is a fantastic
>>>>> opportunity to reach some of our important goals: we had a
>>>>> participation
>>>>> of over 4.000 new users who created the first ever community-driven
>>>>> contribution peak on Wikimedia Commons
>>>>> (<http://stats.wikimedia.org/reportcard/#new_editors_per_month>); we
>>>>> have also helped in establishing cooperation between Wikimedia groups &
>>>>> chapters and some of their local cultural institutions and
>>>>> organisations
>>>>> in several countries.
>>>>>
>>>>> Would you be interested in organizing a Wiki Loves Monuments in 2012 in
>>>>> your country? Would you like to know more? Find all the details at
>>>>> <http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012>.
>>>>> We have put together some information there for you -- and much more
>>>>> will follow soon.
>>>>>
>>>>> We would also like you to join our public mailing list where everyone
>>>>> is
>>>>> welcome to ask any questions about the details on how to organise a
>>>>> Wiki
>>>>> Loves Monuments in your country. This is a place where many organizers
>>>>> of 2011 are already on and we will use that as our main channel for
>>>>> communications and information dispersion in 2012. Be bold and sign up
>>>>> for the list at
>>>>> <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments>.

>>>>> So, please speak up if you're interested!
