SMART objectives[edit]
The Wiki Loves Earth project will result in high quality content(photos and videos) uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons, and will attract new contributors to the Wikimedia projects.
From May to July the campaign system will be open for photos and videos uploading. During that year we will be doing an experiment including videos in that competition, trying to motivate video-makers to upload high quality videos to help illustrate and improve Wikipedia articles.
Measures of success[edit]
The success of the project will be measured through the following measures:
- at least 1000 participants uploading one photograph/video or more;
- at least 6,000 photos uploaded;
- at least 100 videos uploaded;
- at least 10% of photos used on Wikipedia;
- at least 60% of new users engagement during the contest;
- at least 10 new articles about natural heritage sites in Brasil;
- at least 10 high quality videos regarding natural heritage sites in Brasil;
@Wolliff: check if the objectives and measures of success are ok. Best regards Rodrigo Padula (talk) PS: If possible, we would like to request extra USD200,00 to promote/organize presencial meetings/edit-a-thons to guarantee the photos usage, articles improvement and monuments lists during the contest. Since the contest will be open for submission from May/June and we will need 10-15 days for picture evaluation/judgement and plus some days to contact the winners and provide the payments, it's important to have a grant time frame from may-july.

- These SMART objectives look good. Please hold off on announcing the contest, though, until we can resolve the issue with your backlog of bank statements. We won't be able to approve disbursing any additional funds until those are reviewed and approved, and given the number of statements that may take some time. Can you tell me what the 200 US dollars will be used for? Thanks! Winifred Olliff (WMF Program Officer) talk 00:46, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, the bank statements was received and sent to WMF for evaluation. The 200 US is for food/beverage for our off-line activities to improve the pictures usage and contest pages, including marketing and contest planning and final resulst evaluation.

- Hello, Rodrigo! Thanks for these additional details. We are going to cap bridge funding at $3200 for facebook ads and prizes, and not include additional funding for events. We want to keep the amount of the bridge funding low and the expenses simple and easy to track, since this amount is not scrutinized by committee and because expenses and bank statements will need to be reviewed by me personally in order to make sending the funding possible. I hope we can make the contest work this way anyway. Best, Winifred Olliff (WMF Program Officer) talk 18:19, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
- Great!! I will move forward with our planning and the WLE campaign will be published on-line during the next Saturday. Thanks for your support. I will try to organize the local meetings using my own resources to move forward with that important project for our community and user group. The WLE will be running from 7 May to 30 June with the winners announced in July, so we will need to have the grant period from May-August Rodrigo Padula (talk)
