Wikimedia DC invites you to participate in WikiExpedition on Sunday, July 16th, as part of the Wikimania unconference. * * *WikiExpedition* is a one-day (morning/afternoon/evening) photography event based on photographing certain targets (buildings, sites, train stations, etc) that are devoid of pictures on Wikimedia Commons or various Wikimedia projects. WikiExpedition gets volunteers with cameras associated with a list of targets in 22 central regions throughout Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington D.C. WikiExpedition is free to participate in. The 22 regions are given certain amounts of points per objective, and in competition style, the team (or person) with the most points will win the contest and be given prizes. Photographs will be taken from the memory cards of Wikipedians and onto a laptop dedicated to uploading all of the photos to the Wikimedia Commons. Provided will be a list of targets, a set of index cards that will also serve as important to photography (will be explained at the event), and SmarTrip cards, which will be basically an unlimited pass along the D.C. Metro. However, for the outer communities, a car will be required, since commuter trains do not run on weekends. This is a Sunday only event and photography done beforehand cannot be accepted. This competition is purely fun and don’t let greed of points devoid photograph quality. All rules will be explained at the event.
