[Wle-nl] Fwd: Invitation to participate in Wiki Loves Earth 2020

Di Apr 14 14:02:14 CEST 2020

Beste mensen,

Zoals jullie waarschijnlijk weten gaat binnenkort WikiLovesEarth weer van
start - zie hieronder de mail van de internationale organisatoren.

We hebben het er op kantoor over gehad en ons lijkt het niet realistisch om
dit jaar in Nederland iets te gaan organiseren. Ten eerste is daarvoor een
actieve groep vrijwilligers nodig met enthousiasme en tijd om de zaken te
regelen. Wij weten niet zeker of dat op dit moment het geval is.
Daarnaast - en minstens zo belangrijk - maken we ons zorgen dat je door het
organiseren van WLE-activiteiten mensen toch in de verleiding brengt om
naar buiten te gaan, terwijl we niet weten hoe de corona-situatie zich de
komende maanden gaat ontwikkelen.

Het lijkt ons wel een leuk idee om in de komende periode iets te gaan doen
met foto's, bijvoorbeeld een actie om  mensen te stimuleren om foto's uit
hun archief te uploaden. (En om te voorkomen dat mensen toch naar buiten
gaan,  dan misschien alleen foto's van gebouwen, objecten of landschappen
die niet meer bestaan of ingrijpend zijn veranderd?😉 )

Als jullie ideeën hebben horen we het graag.

Groet,

Sandra Rientjes
Directeur/Executive Director Wikimedia Nederland

Dear colleagues,

You are receiving this email because you or your organization have
organized Wiki Loves Earth before or have been planning it.

We are pleased to announce that the 8th year in a row the *Wiki Loves Earth
international photo contest* will gather pictures of nature from different
parts of the world!
As always, our aims are:
— Raising public awareness as WLE helps to attract attention to protected
areas.
— Creating the biggest database of free photos of nature heritage sites
everyone can use.

Overall WLE collected 585k free photos of nature heritage sites, with
around 130k being used in the wikiprojects — and we are going to make even
more impact organizing Wiki Loves Earth 2020! This year the contest will
take place *between May and July* (we extended the international contest
this year so it runs through July 30th). We already have *21 participating
countries* and looking forward to welcoming more. Exactly *Netherlands* can
become a part of the WLE family!

*How to join Wiki Loves Earth 2020?*
1. Assemble a team of volunteers devoted to organizing WLE in your country
(see our guide https://w.wiki/KYA to get an understanding of what this job
entails).
2. Declare your participation by adding your country to the list at
https://w.wiki/KYH.
3. Create a list of nature heritage objects in your region/country (if you
do not have one). Find out more about it here — https://w.wiki/LQ4.
4. Decide on dates of your contest. Please consider how much time you need
to prepare and what is the best time in your country. You are free to
decide when exactly to hold your contest within the international
timeframe, though we advise to do it for no less than two weeks and no more
than two months. Contact us if you have any questions.
5. Create your local landing page, start working on promotion and gathering
pictures of nature heritage sites of your country!
Learn more about how to organize a contest in the guide — https://w.wiki/KYA
.

*Important:*
— Due to the spread of COVID-19, there are restrictions for offline public
events. Please find our advice on how to handle the situation  —
https://w.wiki/KiE.
— If you need some funding for the contest promotion and prizes, we
encourage you to apply for a *rapid grant* (up to 2 000 USD) from the
Wikimedia Foundation. Here you can find more information about it —
https://w.wiki/L3K. Deadline of the current application cycle is *April
15th*, and the next cycle is between 1st and 15th of May. The earlier you
are planning to start the contest, the sooner you need to apply. If you
need any help, please contact us, and we'll support you in every step of
the grant application process.

If you need assistance from the international team to get WLE 2020 started
in your country, please don't hesitate to write to us at
wle-team op wikimedia.org.ua.

In case you're not active in your organization or not responsible anymore
for this kind of projects, please forward this email to a person we could
get in touch with. Thanks!

Stay safe!

Best regards,
Anastasiia Petrova
Project Manager for International Wiki Loves Earth 2020
