Arranging WLM in Asia would be great, but I am afraid it's not easy, at least not in South Asia. Not that we don't have enough monuments (Dhaka, my city, itself has a lot of monuments), but getting the list of monuments would be a problem. Things are not very organized here. :S

Hi guys,
The 2012 Wiki Loves Monuments competition will become global next year, and I'd like to ask how many countries in Asia intend to participate in Wiki Loves Monuments. During Wikimania last August, a pan-Asian Wiki Loves Monuments-style contest was proposed as a common project of the Asian communities, and with the global competition, I think we can focus our efforts on the global competition instead. However, we can have something like an "Asia's Best Picture" award or something like that.
Wikimedia Philippines had expressed interest in organizing a local Wiki Loves Monuments competition next year during GLAMcamp Amsterdam, and I hope other Asian chapters and communities will likewise be interested in doing the same thing. Information on next year's competition may be found at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012.
