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/folkwikilov.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
