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 focus of the content will be on monuments that do not have any image on August 31st. This represents 70% of all monuments and 55% of non-archeological monuments listed. Focusing on non-covered monuments will limit the number of submissions, but will increase the coverage of our list (which is already the best-illustrated online list of monuments of Romania). We will also use the contest to attract audience for other potential contest, such as WLE. This year we have decided to focus on experienced wikipedians to reach out a considerably quantitative and qualitative number of photos uploaded. If any collaboration occurs through the month of contest, we will take it into consideration for next year event. As a low-priority objective, we will experiment with video uploads, although we expect a low turnout due to technical difficulties of uploading videos to Wikimedia Commons.

2. How will you let people know about the contest?

Mainly through sitenotice, village pump notice and our Facebook accounts WLM and Wikipedia română and WLM Romania Instagram account.

3. How will you judge the contest and award prizes?

The jury will be comprised of 3 people: a wikipedian and photographer (Alina Vozna) and two wikipedians: Andrei Stroe and CEllen. Depending on the number of uploaded videos, we will consider having a videographer (TBA) in the jury. Prizes will be awarded to all participants as described in the contest organisation below. Each winner will also receive an online participation certificate. The photo criteria will be mostly unchanged and are described on the website.

4. For photo contests, what is the strategy to get images used on projects?

The images will be added to the list and to Wikidata by a bot, so they will be available to any wikidata-aware infobox. An online writing contest is planned after the competition. We will encourage the editing community to enrich existing articles and create new ones related to the monuments and to add the pictures to related Wikipedia articles.

5. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?
