Hi Claudia!
It was great working with you and the rest of the Austrian team as well! You all did a
great job. So I'll keep my fingers crossed that you manage to identify some more open
data from other cities and easily can participate again (now when you have templates and
routines all prepared).
And for the record, I personally think that Austria had some really fantastic images :-).
Best,
John

Subject: Re: [WikiLovesPublicArt] Let's do Wiki Loves Public Art again in 2014!
Hi John,
thanks for your support with WLPA - it was a pleasure collaborate on this.
WMAT's board and staff discussed the future of WLPA lately and although
we are happy with this year's results, we are not sure whether we will
participate again for several reasons.
The three main reasons are:
- No available open data for other cities in Austria
- Not a lot of modern artwork compared to other countries (it was hard
to compete in the international contest)
- Besides WLPA, we can do one more photo contest per year. Everything
else would be too much. There are some other interesting options (e.g.
Wiki Loves Earth) for photo contests, that we consider at the moment.
Therefore, we can't commit to another edition of WLPA in 2014 at the moment.
Best
Claudia

Thanks again for all of your great work with Wiki
Loves Public Art 2013!
We at Wikimedia Sverige are considering to organize the contest again in
2014 and I am wondering if there is interest from the teams that took
part this year to organize the contest again in your countries? You can
either simply use existing lists or expand to more cities.
I believe that we have proven the concept as we had thousands of
artworks successfully digitized and hence digitally preserved them for
the future and shared them with the world, a good amount of new and old
volunteers participated and we also had a good deal of media attention.
With all this said, I really hope that we can do it again!
Please let me know your plans and ideas!
Best,
John
