Project Plan[modifier | modifier le code]
Activities[modifier | modifier le code]
1. What content will the contest focus on, and why is it important to your community?
- Images of Benin monuments, archaeological sites, and cultural heritage are not adequately covered on Wikimedia Commons. This contest is an opportunity to contribute high quality images of these monuments, archaeological sites, and cultural heritage to Wikimedia Commons.
- It will help to increase the awareness of Wikimedia projects
- The workshop under this projects will help to correct wrong impression about Wikimedia movements in Benin
- It will help to introduce the basis of Wikimedia Commons and Wikimedia projects to many Benineses
- It will help to increase the number of contributors to Wikimedia Commons and other Wikimedia projects
- It will help to increase the number of Benin-related contents on Wikimedia Commons
- It will help to increase the contents on Fon Wikipedia incubator project
- The contest will help to establish a long term relation with professional photographers
2. How will you let people know about the contest?
- Offline: Word of mouth and posters will be printed and displayed in libraries, Universities and schools
- Online: We will set up social media pages (Facebook, Twitter ) to reach people online.
3. How will you judge the contest and award prizes?
- A jury of 3 professional and passionate photographers will judge individual entries and award them based on the criteria of the contest.
4. For photo contests, what is the strategy to get images used on projects?
- We will have edit-a-thons focused on using some of these uploaded images into existing articles on Wikipedia. We may also create new articles based on these images at the edit-a-thons.
5. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?
