Project Plan

Activities

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. What content will the contest focus on, and why is it important to your community? The contest will focus on freely licensed and high quality images of Monuments here in Nepal, that will be contributed to Wikimedia Commons for free usage and spread its importance via usage in Wikipedia articles.

Most of the Heritages in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Lalitpur are damaged heavily due to earthquake on April 25th 2015 and May 12th 2015 5,247 images of the heritages from all over Nepal already been uploaded through WLM -2013, WLM- 2014 and WLM- 2015. Thanks WLM we at least have pictures of those amazing things our forefathers made !

2. How will you let people know about the contest? First of all, we are avoiding the use of paper promotion with the ultimate tagline of 1 ream of paper = 6% of a tree and 5.4kg CO2 in the atmosphere 3 sheets of A4 Paper = 1 liter of water To acquire couple of thousands pictures we can’t sacrifice hundreds of trees to waste. So, we started a new innovative phase to achieve our goals like .

Rigorous Emailing
Social Media
Tell- A friend
Central Notice across Wikimedia projects; to be directed to our site e.t.c

3. How will you judge the contest and award prizes? Jury will comprise of 3 members with different expertise; people from the Wikimedia community and well-known photographers will be invited to join the jury team .Prizes will be in term of money and a trophy.

The jury will determine the winners of the local and international contest taking into the consideration the following criteria:

Technical quality (sharpness, use of light, perspective etc.);
Originality and creativity;
Potential usefulness and overall value of the image (including its licensing) to the Wikimedia projects

4. For photo contests, what is the strategy to get images used on projects? The better way out to utilize those uploaded resources in Wikimedia projects by organizing photo edit-a-thon after the contest.
