Organizing the Wiki Loves Monuments World Exhibition 2013

Hello all of you,

Winners on tour: the 13 motives in the international WLM Calendar will tour as a foto exhibition trough the world probably celebrating the finissage in Hongkong parallel tot he Wikimania 2013 in August. The general coordination will be done through the WLM international team.

Please insert your datahttp://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012/Documentation#World_tour_exhibition_planning_tool, if You would like to host the exhibition. Please remark that I am not the best table constructor in Wkimedia. Please feel free to give me a hand ;)

Further information:

Lately we have been in touch with some printing house to find a sponsor for the calendars. We did find one as You know, but we also find a printing house ready to print in high quality and good price the 12 winners (a.o.) on *alu-dibond* in an exhibition format like A1 (594 × 841 cm). And first research on shipping costs let us come to the conclusion, that we could have an exhibition tour with the winner - motive hosted by local partners.

As an example:

Wikimedia Austria does have the Bundes Denkmalamt as partner. Would they like to host for two weeks in the coming year and than send it further to the next exhibition site previewed? The exhibition would be ready for show and delivered in two boxes including the labels to each image and the shipping papers.

We do consider this idea a nice opportunity to show to a broader public our achievements and to deepen the contact with local partners. It might even help to prepare the ground for a coming Wiki loves Monuments edition 2013.

*Time line:*

Start of the Tour: not before December 2012

End of the Tour August 2013 likly in Hongkong (scheduled date for the Wikimania)

Taken in account that the exhibition should stay at least 10 - 14 days at each station and shipping might take some time, we could have 6 to 8 stations all together. WLM international would be able to finance the production of the photo plates, boxes and stand for the shipping costs (up to a certain amount). We could help with a press advisory and layouts for promotion material. But we need Your help to find local partners.

The partner will host the exhibition and stand for promotion and press work. Would You like to check with your partners, how they like the idea?

Curious for Your plans!

thanks
