Subject: Re: [Wiki Loves Monuments] European WLM Awards Ceremony
Hello,
Some news : in the last email I got from an assistant of Yannick Jadot, she
told me that booking a room in the Parliament in December would be very
hard, as this month is in high demand. Lodewijk suggests that I try to book
a room in late January or in February.
Booking a room in the Parliament is much easier if we have several Members
of the European Parlement supporting it, and not just one. So if you, or
members of your chapter (I especially think about WM NL, DE and PL ;))
already have
contact with MEPs, please ask them if they would agree to support the
event, or at last give me their names so that Jannick Jadot's assistants get
in touch with their own assistants (that's part of their job after all :)).
Same thing if you know a MEP that you never had direct contact with but you
think he would be interested in WLM, don't hesitate to give me his name ;)
If you want to directly contact your MEP, here are some points :
- the project is to held (in late January or in February) a "closing
ceremony"* for Wikilovesmonuments, which would consist of a conference on
Freedom of Panorama followed by a cocktail, in the Europarliament in
Brussels. At the same time (before or after), an exhibition of the winning
photos would be made somewhere in the Parliament.
- don't forget to talk about the success of the contest :)
If you need more details, don't hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,
Sylvain.
(*) It would make no sense in helding an awards ceremony so late...

Hello,
I would like to relaunch the discussion.
Taking in account everything that was told on this list, here is what I
suggest :
Ask some Members of the European Parliament (at last Yannick Jadot[1] which
we already know for having met him in June, but if you know about other MEPs
who might be interested, feel free to point me their names ;)) to book a
room at the European Parliament for us in December and do the following :
- A one-month (for example) exibition of the twelve winning pictures.
- the day of the inauguration, a conference on Freedom of Panorama for the
MEPs in late afternoon, followed by the opening of the exhibition. No need
to have all the winners present, or to pay for their fly, but we can tell
them they can come if they want.
The purpose of this would be both to communicate about WLM and do some
lobbying, and, incidentally, to maintain our contacts with members of
Parliament
Wikimedia France staff (namely, me and Adrienne) would handle all the
necessary work, and Antoine can organize a Wikimedia Takes Brussels at the
same time.
If there are no objections to this, I'll recontact Yannick Jadot's
personnal assistant - we met her back in June, and she is aware of the
opportunity to organize an event about Wiki Loves Monuments.
Best Regards,
Sylvain.

Hi Sylvain, all,
although it sounds exciting, I'm afraid we have to be realistic.
1) it is rather impossible to fly in all winners - even if we have the
budget for that (which we don't) - because of the tight time frame. If we
fly nobody in, it would basically be a press conference, and no press will
be really interested in that I assume.
If by "all winners", you mean the 180 winners (10 selected pics * 18
participating countries), I agree, of course. But flying in the final
winners of the European contest (how many are they supposed to be, by the
way ? There is no indication about that in
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011/Concept )
can be realistic.
Basically, what we want to do is a combination of the following :
- Held a small award ceremony, giving their prize to the winners. No need
to have hundreds of people to come...
- An exhibition of the winning photographs
- A conference about some topic on which we want the eurodeputies to work
and which is relevant to the contest (the first thing that comes to mind is
Freedom of Panorama.)
- At the same time, a "Wikimedia Takes Brussels" :)
IMO, none of these would necesit more time or money than we can afford.
2) currently, we have no budget for a ceremony - so you would have to find
that (there was money budgetted, but since we were not able to fill in all
budget with money from chapters, we have to limit ourselves)
I think Wikimédia France can pay for what is related to the event itself,
and maybe the other European chapters can help with the transportation and
accomodation of the winners ?
3) at least Maarten and I have no time to organize such a meeting - it
requires quite a lot of work because you need to get an interesting program
to attract people in the first place.
Maarten and you have already done much, we don't ask you anything ;)
4) We got accepted at DISH 2011, and can do the prize announcement in the
presentation there.
What is it ? I've never heard of that...
Regards,
Sylvain.
