 Indeed :-)

 We are planing several various activities together with our
 local
 partners - mainly various heritage NGO's. Most of them are
 photo-walks
 with local, professional  guides or local thematic
 contests with their
 own jury and prizes. We are especially happy that many of
 these events
 will happen in small towns.

 On September 7th - there will be photo-walk along
 "Katowice  XIX/XX
 century architecture path" organised by Sileasian Centre for
 Heritage.

 On September 14 there will be a photo-walk and wikiworkshop
 in Upper
 Silesia Etnographic Park in Chorzów. The idea is to let
 people take
 photos in the Park and then teach them how to upload their
 photos and
 moreover - how to use them in Wikipedia. The final accord of
 this even
 will be a bonfire with with some free sausages :-)

 On 28 September there will be a photo-walk along old wooden
 churches
 path in Sieraków and Rudnice (SIlesia) with unique
 possibility to take
 pictures of their interiors (which is normally forbiden due
 to safety
 reasons).

 Portal: http://mapakultury.pl is about to organise their own
 side-contest. The contest idea is to document "forgotten
 monuments" -
 not only by taking sets of photos and sending them to
 Commons, but
 also adding to them new articles in Wikipedia in order to
 have some
 kind of "story about the forgotten monument".

 3 NGO-ses from Lublin are about to organise their own local
 contests.
 The official opening of the contest will be announced in
 "Bram Grodzka
 - Teatr NN" headqaurter  on August 31 - there is going
 to be a press
 conference and wikiworkshop + small celebration with
 presentation of
 last year WLM pictures from the Lublin area.

 Then, on September 1, 8, 15 and 22 - the local association
 of
 photographers from Lublin will organise a series of
 thematic
 photo-tours with guide - in Lublin, but also in small
 satelite towns
 around Lublin.

 Several other NGO-ses from other parts of Poland hopefull
 will
 announce their ideas soon.

 Anyway - what is really great with having many partners -
 that they do
 the good work without our big effort ;-)
