Goals edit
Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?
We are happy in general with the result of the contest, we got very good photos and many photos were of municipalities that did not have photos before the contest. We also got more followers on our social networks. However, there are things that concern us about the results, such as the number of participants.
Outcome edit
Please report on your original project targets.
| Target outcome | Achieved outcome | Explanation |
| 100 participants | 46 | Target not reached. The contest period was shorter than in previous years, and this may have influenced the number of participants |
| 1000 photos uploaded to Commons | 861 photos | Target not reached. However, we were very close to achieving it, and taking into account that the number of participants was lower than in previous years, we are satisfied. |
| Number of photos used on Wikimedia projects: we expect more than 40 photos to be used in the Wikimedia Projects. | 40 photos | +41 in Wikipedia, +2 in Wikidata. A complete list of the photos that are being used in allwikiprojects can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_gAVj1cBt6q7jIbLhdj64-dxxiERGOIs43Z8tYesUqA/edit#gid=166277184 |
Learning edit
Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:
- What worked well?
-We got amazing photos of places with no photos or very few photos on Commos. We have focused on this aspect for some years and we are very happy with the result.
-Some participants from past years also participated in this contest, which shows that there are people who are actively involved in our activities
- What did not work so well?
The number of participants was unusually low. We believe that the reduction of the duration of the contest may have affected this, and is something that undoubtedly we will consider for future editions of the contest)
Amazon has its own exchange rate, which is somewhat high, which increased costs
- What would you do differently next time?
Extend the dates on which users can upload photos
