Project Goal edit

I am an active Wikipedian that have contributed to Commons and the Norwegian projects for several years. Since I've started contributing I've donated 2.000 photographs to Commons, of which 1.700 photographs are portraits of bands and musicians.
The last few years my main area for contributions have been quality portraits of notable people and artists for Commons. I have covered events, festivals and concerts in Oslo through cooperation with institutions, venues, festivals, artists and artist management. Many of the artists are of international interest and the project has reach outside the Norwegian wikiprojects. This was also a subject of a GLAM Newsletter and a 2016 Wikimedia Grant.
I intend to photograph concerts at Stavernfestivalen and Kongsberg Jazzfestival. The two festivals are in the Buskerud/Vestfold-region of Norway through 5 to 8 July and present Scandinavian artists, with some international artists as well.
The goal of the project is to:
- add high-quality content to Commons
- reduce the gender gap by prioritizing concerts at the festivals with female artists
- recruit new photographers to commons (a long term goal)
- advocate for free content, encourage photographers and communication staff to release content on free licenses
- networking with management and communication directors of festivals for future projects
The gender ratio in my contributions will depend on the booking at the festivals. My intent is to make sure the gender ration in my contribution shows more gender equality than the festival line-up does. I achieve this by selecting bands and artists that have female artists at the stage before male only bands. After the festivals, I compare the gender ration of the festival to the gender ration of my contributions and my goal is to have a better ratio than the festivals.

Endorsements edit
Community members are encouraged to endorse your project request here!
- Endorse. This is a really good idea. The user is giving his own precious time for free and all he asks for is a small refund of actual cost (probably less than real cost). Thanks a lot to Toresetre. ツ regards. Dyveldi ☯ prat ✉ post 19:27, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
- Endorse. The contributor has a very good track record in adding valuable photo taken from various events where we have got loads of pictures we have used for our biographies. Would be good if he could have support for this so he can have his expenses covered. Ulflarsen (talk) 06:37, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
- Endorse. Toresetre has contributed with a lot of high quality images from concerts, festivals and other events the last 1,5 year. In doing so he has both engaged a lot of other editors in adding metadata to the images on commons. We strongly endorse his project which involves both cross-chapter work and images that are also used beyond the Norwegian Wikipedias. Astrid Carlsen (WMNO) (talk) 09:34, 22 June 2017 (UTC)
- Yes! We need those images! Kimsaka (talk) 20:29, 26 June 2017 (UTC)
