Talk:WLAf 2015/Proposal by Nigeria

Hello

Thanks for your proposition. I am a bit baffled by your proposed "timeline" :)

• 20th September 2015: Launching of the Contest to the Nigeria Community
• 5th of October, 2015: Start of Contest
• 5th of October , 2015 Selections of 5 or more Professional Photographers to be anchored by Goethe Institut, Nigeria
• 6th & 7th October 2015 : Training Session on how to Upload Images using CC on Wikipedia and other Wikipedia Techniques; Selection of Jury will be decided too.
• 10th- 15th October, 2015 The selected Photographers are expected to come up with collection of images that are suitable for the contest.
• Stage 3: 17th October, 2015 Selection of the best Collections, Winner to receive Cash Award of 100 USD
• Stage 4: 20th 25th October 2015, Uploading Images to Wikipedia

Here is why

1. the contest will start on the 1st of October anyway (when the site notice will appear). Not on the 5th
2. it will end on the 30th of November in any cases.
3. the pictures can be uploaded by Nigerians all along these two months. They can submit any pictures.
4. I think that if you organise a local prize and ceremony for the best selections, it should rather be after the closure of the contest. So in December ?
5. as much as possible, pictures should be uploaded by the author (I know, it is not always possible). In particular if the pictures come from professionals. We need to make sure that they are in agreement with putting the pictures under a free licence.

But in any cases, I am very happy you join the contest this year as an active group and happy to see that you already got partners. You rock !
