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 will focus on photos. This content is important, as most articles in en:Category:Protected areas of Belarus have no or lack illustrations, including in both Belarusian Wikipedias (be-tarask:Катэгорыя:Ахоўныя прыродныя тэрыторыі Беларусі).
2. How will you let people know about the contest?
- I will create posts about the contest on the pages of Belarusian Wikipedia in Facebook, VK, Twitter & the channel in Telegram. Local groups in social networks, including those devoted to photography, will also be used. A press release will be provided to the local news outlets (be-tarask:Вікіпэдыя:Прэса пра Вікіпэдыю). Central Notice banner will also help.
3. How will you judge the contest and award prizes?
- Experienced wikimedians will use commons:Commons:Montage jury tool to judge photos. We will try to include more members to the jury in case of an overwhelming number of photos.
4. For photo contests, what is the strategy to get images used on projects?
- The landing page contains links to categories with already existing articles on the topic. The list of objects (be-tarask:Сьпіс водна-балотных угодзьдзяў Беларусі) will be used as encouragement to create both articles & pictures about the missing topics.
5. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?
- The project will go on even if not funded, as we look ahead to providing 10 winning pictures from Belarus at the international contest.

Participants
[edit]- Volunteer: I will try to help this project. Firstly, with the publicity of the 'WIKI Loves Earth Belarus 2020' campaign as I strongly believe that protected areas of Belarus have to be represented with more photos on WIKI. The photo contest will also help to bring more awareness about protected areas of Belarus, especially the areas that suffered from the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster. I will also look at the options of raising more money for this campaign/contest. Have you ever thought about setting a page on FB with fundraising for this event? 92.3.35.221 19:14, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
