Hello everyone,
This is just a friendly reminder that this year's Wiki Loves Monuments
<http://wikilovesmonuments.co.za/wiki/Main_Page> photographic competition
is only 75 days away. We have submitted a grant application
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/WM_ZA/WLM-ZA-2014> for funding
to host it and I am expecting this year to be even better than last year's
event.
There is currently a bit of uncertainty about the international Wiki Loves
Monuments happening but the South African competition for 2014 looks set to
go. Currently there is a need for an organiser for the international event
so if you are interested in helping out please let me know.
If you are interested in learning more about this year's Wiki Loves
Monuments in South Africa or would like to help out in any way please let
me know and I will be happy to get back to you.
I hope you all have been eagerly taking photographs to submit throughout
the month of September this year. The prizes are the same as last year's
only this year will see the return of the best picture for the Western Cape
prize category but no prize for most uploades.
The prizes are:
1. First Prize: Vouchers from Orms to the value of R7,500.
2. Second Prize: Vouchers from Orms to the value of R4,000.
3. Third Prize: Vouchers from Orms to the value of R2,500.
- Best Picture of a Proposed Monument: Vouchers from Orms to the value
of R3,000.
If you have other photographs that you would like to submit or just can't
wait until September than I encourage you to participate in the Commons
photo challenge <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Photo_challenge>.
Helen Riding is very kindly organising this event in South Africa. Thank
you Helen! :-)
Best regards,
