Hi all,
September 1 is here and Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 is now live [1]. Congratulations to all of you who have been working hard to have your campaign ready for the big launch. A few pointers:
* A twitter announcement has gone out: https://twitter.com/wikimonuments/status/903361755702628352 Please retweet and spread the word about the contest.
* We have a blog post for you to read and share: http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/starting-2017/
* If you get media coverage, please help us gather that information at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2017/Press_m...
If you have comments or questions, please keep them coming. Otherwise, enjoy the ride and we will be in touch with you in the coming days with more updates and emails, I'm sure. :)
Best, Lily, on behalf of the international team
[1] The contest in a few countries had started earlier, and a few will start a bit later, but given that the bulk of countries go live on September 1, we consider this date as the going live time. :)
