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_.... 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
Hi all,
if you have any questions about the concept, or specific ideas, feel also free to tackle me this weekend - I'll be there all weekend in London during GLAM-wiki.
Best, Lodewijk
