Subject: [Wikimedia ZA] Wiki Loves monuments events: 12th, 19th & 26th September
Hello everyone,
As many of you know since the beginning of September the Wiki Loves Monuments
<http://wikilovesmonuments.co.za/> competition has kicked into gear as part of
Wikimedia South Africa's effort to get more pictures of South Africa for Wikipedia.
We have got some great prizes with over R25,000 worth of vouchers for photographic
equipment up for grabs from ORMS.
*Tulbagh event*
:Date: *Saturday, 12 September 2015*
:Time: *10:30am - 12:30 am*
:Location: *Oude Kerk VolksMusuem, Church Street, Tulbagh, Western Cape.*
The first one is this weekend on Saturday the 12th September. We will be hosting a
walking and photographic tour in Tulbagh as part of the Tulbagh Arts Festival
<http://www.tulbaghartsfestival.co.za/>. The event will end with a brief discussion
and demonstration on how to enter the competition.
Below are the details:
*Bo-Kaap event (with ORMS)*
:Date: *Saturday, 19 September 2015*
:Time: *10:00am - 12:00 am*
:Location: *Bo-Kaap Museum, 71 Wale Street, Cape Town*
*Please keep an eye out at the ORMS website
<https://www.ormsdirect.co.za/workshops/> to book for this event.*
The second event will be hosted in partnership with ORMS and participants will need to
book at the ORMS site for it. ORMS has organised a professional photographer to join us
and show participants how to photograph buildings. We will also have a guide to tell us
about the history of the Bo-Kaap. It will be followed by an upload event so people who
want to immediately upload photographs on the day can do so. The last event was very well
attended so try to book in advance.
*Johannesburg event*
:Date: *Saturday, 26 September 2015*
:Time: *10:00am - 12:00 am*
:Location: Tbd
The third event will be on the 26 September 2015 in Johannesburg where we will be
conducting a Heritage Walk. Maarten and Bobby who will be leading that walk will confirm
the location of the walk closer to the date. Below are the details of that event.
Blurb: "Join us for a leisurely monument scavenger hunt, starting and ending in
central Johannesburg. We will meetup again where we started at 1:00pm, where we will be on
hand to assist people upload and submit their photographs to the competition."
There is a decent chance that this might be the last Wiki Loves Monuments we do in South
Africa but that is a decision to be taken at the AGM later this year (in November) so it
is in no way a final decision yet. If we do decide not to go ahead with Wiki Loves
Monuments 2016 then we will do something very similar instead also in September.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
And also please remember to enter in your photographs! :-)
Best,
Douglas.
