Grants:PEG/WM ES/Wiki Loves Monuments Spain 2015
Goal
edit- The overall purpose of WLM is to increase the material related to monuments with a free license in Wikimedia Commons and improve the quality and increase the amount of articles about Spanish monuments in different languages in Wikipedia. With the scope that we are asking funding for we want to finance the cost of the awards to the contest winners. In this edition we focus on closing gaps, both missing monuments and missing pictures of municipalities in the Spanish territory.

Resources and risks
editResources
edit- This year team: Millars, Poco a poco, Rodelar, Kadellar, B25es, Platonides, Pedro J Pacheco and others
- This is the 5th year of this project, and the support of the community for WLM is clear. Wikimedia Spain organized this contest in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 with a great success of uploaded pictures and people participating. Spain is the 4th country with most pictures uploaded to WLM since 2010 with more than 100,000 pictures.
Risks
edit- Difficulty in recruiting new volunteers and achieving the participation from previous years.
- Reorientation of the contest to missing media rather than massive media.
Budget
editPlease provide a detailed breakdown of project expenses according to the instructions here. See Budget Guidelines.
