Hi All,
As WLM will start in just 3 days, I wander if anyone wants to (or did)
share the events you organize in your country to get as much participants
and as much (media) attention as possible,
Maybe you find our outreach event inspiring :)
We will start with a flash-mob in Yerevan (capital of Armenia). We have a
group of 20-40 people who are very interested in participating. We'll ask
them to come to a central square wearing WLM T-shirts and at a given
moment they will all together, "suddenly" start to photograph monuments of
this square.
Then they will split in smaller groups and go photograph elsewhere. We
will give them printed lists of monuments, as well as flyers to distribute
them.
At the end of the day everyone will come to the city library, where we
will have an "upload party" (or "upload-a-thon").
We are going to do the same event in other cities as well.
We think, this will attract more people to take part to the competition.
Besides, the monuments of these cities will be well documented in
Commmons.
So, how about you?
Cheers,
Vachagan
