Hi all,
It's that time of the year when planning for Wiki Loves Monuments picks up
for those countries interested in taking part. In both 2011 & 2012, there
were discussions about the UK taking part, but for various reasons it never
ends up happening. I would really like to see it happen this year, and to
that end have started the associated page on Wikimedia Commons.
For those who don't k now, Wiki Loves Monuments is an annual photography
competition running in September around cultural heritage monuments, which
in the UK has in the past taken to mean listed buildings. Participants
upload their photos to Wikimedia Commons, identifying it the subject of the
photo to be one of the qualifying monuments with the best photos nationally
and internationally winning prizes.
If you are interested in joining a working group to help with the
organisation, even just a little bit when you have time, please sign up on <
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013_in_the…gt;.
I would plan to have a phone conference in the near future to discuss what
needs to be done, when it needs to be done by, who might be interested in
doing it etc.
Regards,
Katie
