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 contest are photos of the Colombia culture (i.e holidays, festivals, local food, typical dresses, etc). Colombia has an incredible culture, but most of it is undocumented in the Wikimedia Projects, so we are working to solve this.

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

People will know about this project through facebook, instagram and a banner in the Wikimedia projects, before and during the development of the contest.

Also we will try to contact the media and make some propaganda of our contest.

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

There will be 2 kind of prizes: those awarded by a jury and those awarded by a public election process. The former is the way we run the main contest, while the later is a way to get people more active in our social networks and to get more followers

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

There are still a lot of places in Colombia with too few or none photo on Commons. We will give a special award for the best photo of a place like this. So there is a big potential to use those photos on the Wikimedia Projects

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

This is the fourth time in a row that we run this contest :)
