Project Plan

Activities

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 famous monuments in Iraq, especially the ones that don't have enough free photos about them to be included in Wiki projects, it's very important to the community as it reflects the diversity of free knowledge domains we work on as user group, in addition to enriching the visual free library of Iraq on the internet.

2. How will you let people know about the contest? By advertising on social media, announcing on all Iraq related wiki pages.

3. How will you judge the contest and award prizes? By a jury, chosen from a professional photographers and other wikimedians.

4. For photo contests, what is the strategy to get images used on projects? We have prepared a list of all monuments with articles in Iraq, so the uploaded photos could be known where to go, if the photographer is not including them in the article, we have 3 volunteers to do this task before the contest is over.

5. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project? It's the third participation for Iraq in WLM, this year is the first year that our usergroup managed to get external sponsorship, so we tend to make it the most professional contest so far.
