hello there!
has anyone tried locally to organise something around outreach to
photographers whose pictures were made on photographic films?
we have not had such a campaign in Ukraine before, just individual efforts,
like when a Wikipedian convinced an old photographer to upload his pictures
of lost heritage to Commons, they had to scan his films to do that:
https://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/photos-of-destroyed-heritage/
as this year (to make sure people are not roaming around taking pictures
for their own safety) for the Ukrainian part of the contest we decided to
accept only pictures taken before February 24, 2022, we thought of maybe
looking for ways to reach this audience -- photographers whose pictures are
on films, so most probably old enough... but maybe there are some
tips/things to be aware of when dealing with scanned films, and somebody on
the list has travelled down this path already, and can share useful
information?
(sorry for crossposting, i have also asked about this on the telegram
channel)

Hi organizers,
it looks like the deadline for WMF rapid grants this edition is July 1.
This is the program that is most relevant to most of you, and the deadline
is a little more than a week from now!
In case you were thinking to use the September 1 deadline: this deadline
will be too late to organize (it comes with an earliest project start of
October 28).
If you are interested and need help with applying, please contact the WMF
liaison listed here
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid#Contact_us> for your
region. They are generally helpful. The WLM international team is usually
happy to provide some feedback on your proposal, and you can also send it
to the international mailing list if you're looking for help from peer
organizers in other countries.
Best,
Lodewijk
Dear all,
Wikimedia Nederland is in contact with the local government of St.
Eustatius who wish to host Wiki Loves Monuments this year to promote their
local monuments and heritage.
Due to the special status the island has within the Kingdom of the
Netherlands and the lack of adequate laws for built heritage, there isn't
an official published list of monuments that participants could use. There
is an unofficial and unpublished list.
Is there a workaround for these kinds of situations?
Thank you so much for your help!
Best wishes,
Michelle van Lanschot

Dear all,
We are starting up preparations to organise Wiki Loves Monuments in
Suriname this year, and the organising team would like to expand the
activities this year, so we were wondering what funding opportunities we
might reach out to to make that happen?
Thanks so much for pointing us in the right direction!
Best wishes,
