Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Wiki Loves Folklore WPWP

Comments from WMF

Hello Wikilover90, thank you so much for submitting this Rapid Grant request. We are excited that the Open Heritage Foundation also joins the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos campaign. I have reviewed your proposal and have two requests:

• Could you please move back your grant start date by two weeks to allow time for grant processing?
• Please reduce the total prize budget to 500 USD which is the maximum we allow for this campaign.

I'm looking forward to your response. Best regards, DSaroyan (WMF) (talk) 07:10, 29 June 2020 (UTC)

Hello DSaroyan (WMF), thank you for reaching out. I have made changes to the start date and pushed it to 15th July. As for the budget, the project has been designed on international level, where we will be collaborating with different language co-ordinators and there has been separate budget kept for the local winners of different langauge editions in addition to the international prizes. We are currently working on categorization of the 18700+ images we received in the Commons contest and will be collaborating with the local organizers of Wikipedia version of contest that was organized in Feb - April to start the illustration campaign in August. For the international level of this program, the current budget is something we will require in order to organize the phase 2 of Wiki Loves Folklore 'Illustrate Wikipedia Articles' on a decent scale. Hope this helps in clarifying some context around the proposal. With Regards! Wikilover90 (talk) 13:44, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
