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 exclusive content of the contest is photos of monuments. We have a huge shortage of free media on Wikimedia Commons and this contest has significantly helped (in past years) to bridge that gap. Throughout the past few years, the contest have contributed a total of nearly 7,500 photos for the monuments of the Levant, many of which where of sights previously undocumented on Commons.

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

Social media groups, chats and friends, Arabic Wikipedia's Central Notice, Wikimedia groups and word of mouth.

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

We'll either agree with the Jordanian Association for Photographers (which we're currently getting in touch with) or with individual professional photographers, who will cover several countries of the region in order to limit any intentional or unintentional bias. Juries will be asked to choose winning photos based on the following criteria:

1. Relevance;
2. Quality;
3. Visual appeal.

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

Volunteers will go through photos and move them to relevant articles, as many of them as possible.

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

This will be the first regional version of Wiki Loves Monuments in the Levant. Due to the anticipated participation, we have opted to request a grant for the first five places.
