Dear All,

Pray, allow me to announce the first ever international picture competition of Wikimedia Hungary. [1]

The competition officially launching tomorrow, commemorating a Hungarian national holiday[2], is aimed at gathering visual representations - photographs, videos, maps, drawings, SVG graphics, etc. - that have a 'Hungarian aspect'.

We are awaiting submissions in the next three months from all over the world. Apart from the endless possibilities of works created in Hungary - e.g. on a summer visit -, we hope to engage the international community of photographers, and graphic artists of Wikimedia Commons. Please take a look at our prepared list of possible works to be created all over the world (including geographical places, museums, events and suggestions for non-photographic contributions). [3]

The submissions will be evaluated by the community in a way similar to the Picture of the Year competition, the authors of the best pictures will be awarded a Wikimedia gift package.

For more information, please visit the competition's homepage on Commons: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wikimedia_Hungary_picture_competit...

Thank you, Bence Damokos Wikimédia Magyarország http://wiki.media.hu/wiki/Home

P.s. I would like to ask you to forward this announcement to all whom it may concern, your local village pumps, chapters' communities, and photographers and people who might be interested in participating.
