WLM Kosovo 2016 competition ran from 1 September - 9 October. Preparations began in August with the grant being proposed on 15 August and approved on 24 August. We asked for an extension to report the conclusion since a particularly cold winter did not allow us to hold the awards ceremony until 28 March.

New this year were the photography tours which not prove particularly productive and the monuments editathon which gave good results.

The domain name http://wikilovesmonuments.al has been setup for the previous editions and has helped us establish a strong brand as well as by being an easy entry point for non-technical visitors. Overall, the following people contributed on the project: User:Arianit, User:Liridon, User:Bresta, User:Margott (by sharing some of the resources with Albania), and Violeta (finances).

A joint jury of five members was shared with Albania: Samir Karahoda (photographer), User:Albinfo (de.Wikipedia and Albania Commonist), Besnik Hamiti (photographer, TV producer and Wikipedian) and User:Bresta (FLOSSK member of the board and Wikipedian).

Several promotion channels were used. We sent press releases to media getting published in many of them and making radio and TV appearances. Here are some: RTV 21, Lajmi.net, Indeksonline, Ekonomia, Bota Sot, Business Magazine, Zeri.

Prizes provided to the winners included gift cards from a camera shop for photographers and their printed photos in large format and certificates. For editathon contributors, we provided books of encyclopedic nature to the best contributors which is meant to support their further contribution.

Some activities were co-financed with the Institute for the Protection of Monuments as can be shown under finances below and prizes ceremony was co-run with Albania. The Institute has been the sole funder of a few other activities related to monuments protection such as tourist videos showcasing monuments and a study on the depiction of monuments in school books.

Learning

edit

With the exception of the photo tours, this edition can be considered a decent success. A bit of tiredness is noticeable among contributors so new means of organization should be considered for upcoming editions to maintain the enthusiasm, perhaps by providing better organized photo tours.
