This project will be concentrated on working to improve the photo contests we run (Wiki Loves Earth (both International and local parts), Wiki Loves Monuments, European Science Photo Competition).

Wiki Loves Earth 2016 (International): https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T130466

Goals: Increasing reach, increasing quality of the photo contests, concentrate on using the content we receive via the photo contests.

Objectives:

• We plan to increase quality photo content on Wikimedia projects by organising photo contests: Wiki Loves Earth (national and international parts), Wiki Loves Monuments (national part) and Science Photo Competition in 2016.
• To increase the quality photo content we will encourage participants to nominate their photos for valued, quality or featured. These pictures are to be used in articles and lists of the monuments
• We will ensure photo contest content is used to illustrate Wikimedia projects through organising an on-wiki collaboration or edit-a-thons.
• To increase the reach of the contests we plan to organise local promotional events (edit-a-thons, Wiki Takes, etc).
