Hi all, as some of you may know, I'm now also collaborating with Europeana in their Wiki-related projects. I have a couple of good announcements to share with you:
1) Again this year, Europeana will be an official partner of Wiki Loves Monuments and will sponsor the main prize, as did last year. 2) Beside of sponsoring main prize, We’ll have a special category within the contest entitled ‘World War I Monuments and Memorials'. This category is understood in an inclusive way (all monuments/memorials related to WWI in participating countries) This category proposal is related to another ongoing Europeana project, Europeana 1914-1918 [1] designed for collecting memorabilia in digital form from related to WW1. Previous editions of the WLM contest also had an special Europeana category (GLAM for 2012 [2] and Art Nouveau for 2011 [3]). The contest and jury systems for this particular category will be the same one than used on previous years, following our KISS principles :) Still not sure about it but probably will manage an online exhibit like the one Europeana did for Art Nouveau in 2011 [3] We are still drafting all so will be glad to read your comments and questions on this.
