Hi Juliana,
That would be an interesting approach! Please do check if they would be
interested. Did you do something like this before (with so many different
images, we'd be talking about a huge storage capacity - much more than a
few banners/photos on repeat... so I'd be curious if their soft/hardware
could handle it.
Nemo: I think we'd be talking about all WLM 2016 photos, so that would be
more around 200-300k photos (I hope), and at the earliest in
November/December.
Any other people willing to work on this follow-up project?

Hello all,
That would be great to try a digital photo exhibition. After this e-mail,
the Wikimedian Brazilian Group of Education and Research is thinking about
trying to organize something here - maybe inside the subway stations.
Let´s keep in touch!
Best regards,
Juliana

Hey folks,
A few years ago, we managed to set the world record for the largest
photography competition in the world, according to the Guinness Book of
World Records. We still hold this record with our 2012 competition
<http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/largest-photography-competition/>
.
I was thinking, as a little bonus on WLM 2016, would it be nice to try
and break another record? The competition will be hard to break if I look
at our previous submissions, but there is another record that might be
interesting: the largest digital photo exhibition
<http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/29046-largest-digital-photo-exhibition>.
The record currently stands at 115,117 and seems breakable.
Based on what I read, this might be a bunch of LED screens all displaying
a slide show of photos at a publicly accessible place. We could do this
during some kind of event, and simply show all WLM submissions from the
international competition.
Anyway, is there anyone, or a chapter/local team that would like to
consider organising something like this? If we want, we could even make it
a 'travelling' exhibition. It would require a lot of screens, a nice
occasion to display them, a bit of software to show the photos and
collecting evidence.
Best,
Lodewijk
