Project Plan edit
Activities edit
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?
- Turkey is a country well-known for its magnificent nature; this will be the second time participating Wiki Loves Earth contest. This competition is important to us for several reasons. Firstly, we want to increase the number of free-licensed photos of national parks, protected areas and others shared on Wikimedia commons. In previous year during first WLE , we had a chance to reivew and see how the projects were missing digital assets related national parks in the country. Secondly, the photos taken during this contest will be used in Wikipedia and in other Wikimedia projects, which will increase the quality of articles. Thirdly, we would like Wikimedia projects to get better known and understood by the general public in the country and we would like the publicity related to this contest would serve this purpose. As a result, we believet this contest will help attracting new volunteers to Turkish Wikipedia and sister projects
2. How will you let people know about the contest?
- Central Notice across Wikimedia projects
- Official Turkish Wikipedia Facebook page (with about 3K likes) and Wikimedia Turkey social Media accounts.
- Promoting the competition through the use of social networks (Facebook/Twitter/Instagram).
- Sending out Press releases
3. How will you judge the contest and award prizes?
- The jury will be composed both by experienced Wikimedians and photography enthusiasts. We are forming a 3-member jury which will be consisted of 1 experienced Wikimedian and 2 enthusiast photographers. We will give out prizes with an online awards ceremony.
4. For photo contests, what is the strategy to get images used on projects?
- With the help of different edit-a-thon, we can use uploaded images in different Wikimedia projects.
5. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project? We hope that we can achieve all our goals in this contest. The WLE of last year was the first Wiki Loves Contest ever organized in the country and we received very positive results. We would like to organize WLE regularly and provide a good sample for future local Wiki Loves contests.
