Hello All,
Tamil Wiki Community is currently organizing a 3 month long media contest[1][2] with the aim of increasing media files related to Tamil / Tamilians / Tamil culture to be used in Tamil Wiki Projects and encouraging non-text contributions from users who could contribute easily through pictures, sounds, videos. Total prize money of 850 USD is up for grabs. As such within a week of starting the contest, we have got over 350 images from participants in India and Srilanka. Apart from images which can be used on Wikipedia pages, pronunciation files are also being uploaded to be used in Wiktionary. Arrangements are on to get it widely publicized on print / radio / television media across places with Tamil population. Facebook[3] is also helping a lot in getting traction. Spread out the word, also do participate!

This is wonderful, good luck. Please let us know about your experience with Upload Wizard.
I noticed that Upload Wizard isn't fully localized into Tamil yet. Any Tamil speaker can help localize it on translatewiki.net. These are the missing translations:

Cheers, Erik
Eric,
Our experience with the upload wizard has been great. Its extremely useful and newbie editors are finding it easy to use. There was a slight hitch with customising it though. Commons hasnt yet decided the procedure for giving the "upload campaign editor" rights. Our requests for rights were denied because there is no community approved procedure for it yet. We had to take the help of a commons admin for the customisation. Apart from that the campaign customised wizard is perfect for competitions/scavenger hunts like ours.

Thank you!. As Bala had mentioned, Upload Wizard is really useful. Though the entire extension is not translated completely the interface for end user is translated [1]. There was a issue of extension lacking feature to add "Upload Wizard campaign editors" flag to normal users and a fix was made available[2] , but commons community needs to create a community process around it though. We managed to set it up through Commons admin (Thanks Tanvir!). Having Narayam on commons might help a bit and I have discussed with Siebrand already at hackathon, probably we might discuss more on the bug[3] and get a solution if its possible.

The recent addition on the upload progress is really awesome. Not deviating the thread, I am happy to participate in this contest. Do we have some categories, template in commons to identify the medias which are getting added to the contest?

Ramesh,
The files that are uploaded as part of the contest are in the category http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:TamilWiki_Media_Contest
This cat gets automatically added, when the special upload wizard is used. If you want to directly upload to commons or use other tools like commonist, please add this category to the files
Regarding template,
We have a {{TamilWiki Media Contest}} template. But we have not designed this to be added automatically to the files. (as a deliberate decision ). If this template is added to the files, then the category too gets added automatically.

Just wanted to clarify that the contest is open for all language speakers and not just for Tamils.
The contest portal is also available in English at http://ta.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contest/en . So, please do encourage all your friends who may have an interest in Tamil culture.
Most of the major companies have a photography club or something like that. Circulating news about this contest in such mailing lists would be a great help for us.

Ravi, thanks for the head up, I've sent the contest link to a few friends who have in turn said that they'll forward it to their Company's mailing list. Regards,

These are fantastic news! A tremendous contribution to our mission, fueled by volunteer passion!
I applaud the Tamil community.
We at the Foundation would love to work with the organizers on showcasing this in a post on the Wikimedia Blog; I realize your hands are full right now, but we can start discussing this (e-mail me) and preparing for a blog post to follow the announcement of the winners.

Thanks Asaf,
Can we get back to you in three weeks time?. By then we would be finished with the datamining / statistics and the judging process and will be able to provide a complete picture for the blogpost. We will be submitting a full report with statistics and prize winner data for the grant process. So it would be easy for us work on the blogpost after we have all the data for report on hand.

Many congratulations to the Tamil Community for the resounding success of this contest (as I understand the contributions are 5x the initial target and contributors are 3x the initial target).
Sodabottle, Logic and team have worked really hard to pull this off, hats off to them!

Hello All,
The contest is now closed. A total of 15217[1] (5 times our expectation[2]) files were uploaded by around 300 contributors. We are planning to announce the results by March 25th (Yes, selecting 9 prizes out of 15,000 entries is slightly tough task). A detailed report / statistics will be available soon. Thanks for your support.

Thanks Asaf,
Can we get back to you in three weeks time?. By then we would be finished with the datamining / statistics and the judging process and will be able to provide a complete picture for the blogpost. We will be submitting a full report with statistics and prize winner data for the grant process. So it would be easy for us work on the blogpost after we have all the data for report on hand.
regards Bala

These are fantastic news! A tremendous contribution to our mission, fueled by volunteer passion!
I applaud the Tamil community.
We at the Foundation would love to work with the organizers on showcasing this in a post on the Wikimedia Blog; I realize your hands are full right now, but we can start discussing this (e-mail me) and preparing for a blog post to follow the announcement of the winners.
Cheers,
Asaf

This is by far the greatest success in numbers we have achieved and shows what is possible. What is NOT apparent is the humungous work needed to carry out the Project. My earnest congratulations to all the participants and wishing this contest has a smooth, hassle-free, happy closure.

This is an amazing news, congratulations to all the Tamil Wikipedians for their effort, hoping the 300 newbies remain contributors after this. This is so much motivating for the other Indian language communities.

As someone who uploaded a measly 22 files out the 15k+ Odd files, I feel immensly proud as there are some mind blowing images from the Sri Lankan tamil community and I feel great to be associated with something so amazing.
