Thanks, Mohammad!

(I am sure everybody knows this, but I just in case!)

For those, who has organised a photo contest before: you can also make a quarry to get a list of participants of your previous editions of WLM (or/and other photo contests), and just invite them (via MassMessage) to take part in your contest this year.

For example, you can fork this one (and change the categories you need)): https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/38665
Or find somebody in your community who can create such a quarry (or a better one!) or has a bot :)))

Hi Jernej,

We have some promotional material from previous years. You can see our social media feed for examples (promo clip, poster, countdown, etc.): 
https://www.instagram.com/wikilovesmonuments/ 

1. 2018 poster in square form factor for social media: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLM_2018_Poster_sq_en.png
(It's available in English, Arabic, Spanish and Farsi. I can make one for you if you send me the right text and also change the dates) I can also send you the original file (in Pages)

2. Promo clip: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLM_Promo_4_5.webm and https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLM_Promo_Arabic_ver1.webm
This is available both in English and Arabic. It's a powerpoint presentation that I convert to a slideshow.

3. Countdown like this one are again powerpoint files that I can share with you.

Also if you have social media accounts please send me the links so we can promote them on our own social media channels.

Mohammad

Dear all,

we're organizing WLM in Slovenia for the first time, and I was
wondering... does anyone have any promo imagery for publishing on social
media that I could adapt to our language? Browsing Commons yielded nothing.

Thanks,

Hello, Jernej!

It seems to me that if any materials were developed for social media, they
would not usually end up on Wikimedia Commons :) Their life span is too
short - to attract attention, and (maybe) sometimes they will even be on
the border of copyright violation... and even out of scope.

Maybe something like this fact sheet will be useful?
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_Fact_Sheet.pdf

(You can also post parts of it, like separate facts, like:
- this is the largest photo contest in the world (and a picture of
Guinness World Records seal
https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/largest-photography-competition/
)
- more than 40 countries are taking part in it (and a map
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Participating_Countries_WLM_2019.svg)
and this is the first time Slovenia joined
- Slovenia has xxx monuments, and only xx are illustrated (or some other
locally relevant statistics) etc, to motivate people and make them aware)

This video is not country specific, so it can be shared. But you might want
to translate the subtitles: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnzQf9VbH9g
On Commons:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikilovesmonuments.org.webm

Our team has been posting pictures from the previous years as a countdown
for the start of the contest, but they are not really reusable, I am
afraid:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:WLM_in_Ukraine_starts_in_2_days.jpg
Especially as you are doing your first contest...

Overall, this category was supposed to be useful for situations like that,
but I doubt it is populated enough and regularly:
