Dear Wikipedians,
As part of Europeana’s special Art Nouveau
competitions we just (re-)published 360 of the best Art Nouveau photos on the
Europeana Flickr account. This means we’ve reduced the nearly 3000 photos
categorized for the Art Nouveau competition by the Wiki community. The images,
divided into sets, can be found here, http://www.flickr.com/photos/europeanaimages2/collections/72157628008148113/
The idea is then that until December 5th people
will be able to “vote” for their favourites. Actually, it’s
using the Flickr favourite function that counts as a vote. There are no really
strict rules to the voting, just favourite the ones you like and as many as you
like and we’ll count the votes.
Based on the popular vote and selection by the Europeana
internal work group and jury we’ll then make a special Wiki Loves Art
Nouveau exhibition on the Europeana exhibitions platform(at http://exhibitions.europeana.eu/exhibits/browse?tags=europeana-en ) .
The exhibition will encompass about 50-100 photos with the winner of the Art
Nouveau competition showcased especially.
We would be really happy and grateful if you could all help
in spreading the word about the popular vote on Flickr on your blogs, through
your Twitter accounts and mailing lists. The Europeana blog post announcing
this can be found at http://blog.europeana.eu/ and
please feel free to translate it or link back to it.
Best regards,
David
