[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 overall purpose of this Wiki Loves Monuments contest is to increase the amount of freely-licensed material related to Georgian monuments in Wikimedia Commons, and improve the quality and quantity of Wikipedia articles about them, including illustrating the articles with the uploaded pictures. If the project is going to be successful, more people will know not only about Wikipedia, but also about Wikimedia Commons and new users will be engaged in the projects also. Additionally, the Wikimedia movement and the local chapters will gain visibility within the involved communities.

- Official Georgian Wikipedia Facebook page (with about 89K likes) and Official WLM Georgia Facebook page
- Promoting the competition through the use of social networks (Facebook/Twitter).
3. How will you judge the contest and award prizes?
- The jury will be composed both by experienced Wikimedians and photography enthusiasts. We are forming a 5-member jury which will be consisted of 2 experienced Wikimedian, 2 photographers and one public figures.

Prizes will be in term of money.
4. For photo contests, what is the strategy to get images used on projects?
