Dear all,

This might be of interest as well: “According to you, what would be the most interesting topic for a future photo contest?”

The most frequent responses from the WLM 2013 participants:

- Cultural heritage objects (historical buildings, etc.) – 72% of respondents

- Natural heritage sites – 65%

- Various types of items of which photographs are needed for specific Wikipedia articles – 41%

- Artworks on public grounds – 41%

- Plants – 30%

- Animals – 28%

Again, compared to the entire population of potential photo contest participants, there is likely to be a self-selection bias in favor of cultural heritage (only people who like to take photos of cultural heritage actually participated in the contest and were therefore polled.)

And again, you’ll find a per country analysis in the attachment.

I think these are the survey results that are most useful for deciding which contest(s) to carry out this year.

I will try to send you the results regarding the other survey questions during February. I don’t have much time right now to do the analyses; and we also discovered an issue related to missing data from Thailand today which we should probably look into before continuing with the analysis.

Cheers,

Beat
