  2. Involve new volunteers with activities.

Project Plan[edit]

Activities[edit]

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 contest focuses on Colombia in general. We want people to document their vacations in the most diverse ways, so Colombian food, events, people, places, buildings, etc. can be illustrated. In particular, as last year we'll try to motivate people to illustrate places that don't have photos in Wikimedia Commons; that would be specially useful as a way of picturing the country as a whole.

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

Via Wikipedia CentralNotice, through Facebook (with the help of partners and with the use of ads) and other social media accounts of the group.

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?

As last year, we'll have a special prize to award people who photograph places with few or none already existing images. This will make easier to add those images to the Wikimedia projects.

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

It's the third time we run the contest, and the sixth time we run a nationalwide contest. Last year, we tried to get photos from municipalities with none or few photos in Commons. This year we'll try to get even more photos from those municipalities

Impact[edit]

How will you know if the project is successful and you've met your goals? Please include the following targets and feel free to add more:

For photo contests:

  1. Number of participants: we expect at least 100 participants. Ideally, we expect more than 175.
  2. Number of photos uploaded to Wikimedia Commons: we expect 1000 photos uploaded to Commons. Given that we'll give some emphasis to photos of new places, even a relatively low amount of photos may be very useful.
  3. Number of photos used on Wikimedia projects: we expect more than 40 photos to be used in the Wikimedia Projects.

Resources[edit]
