Project Plan
[editar]Activities
[editar]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's natural heritage, that is the protected natural areas and parks. Colombia is one of the most biodiverse countries in the world, and we want to depict that in the Wikimedia projects. There is a lack of content on the natural areas and its inhabitants (animals, plants, landscape).
2. How will you let people know about the contest?
- People will know about this project through Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and a banner in the Wikimedia projects, before and during the development of the contest. Also across our social media, channels and mailing list.
3. How will you judge the contest and award prizes?
- The group will elect a jury that will award the prizes based on the contest's criteria.
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 photos 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?
- There is the first time we run the contest in Colombia.
