Hi all,
We in Perú, a few days ago, added our country to WLM 2019. So, we hope
be part of the global campaign. We are not sure if we are in time to get
a grant, but we are in time to participate in the contest. This will be
our fourth time! :)
Greetings from Lima!

Hi everyone,
It's that exciting time of the year again, Wiki Loves Monuments is getting
started! I know several of you have already started, but if you haven't: this
is a great time to do so!
The idea behind Wiki Loves Monuments is to invite the general audience in your
country to photograph built heritage and share it with the world through
Wikimedia Commons. We do that through a federated competition, which means that
the national teams are key to our success: they organize the national
competitions. At the end of the process, the national juries can nominate up to
10 photos to the international jury. The international jury will then consider
those photos once again, and select the international winners. We will announce
the prizes for the international winners later.
If you are a group of Wikimedians, a chapter or user group that is
interested in participating (again) this year, then please sign up! You can
find a list of countries that has already done so here:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2019/Participating_countries
If you want to know how to organize, please reach out to one of the members of
the international team
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2019/Organizers#International_team>.
You can also leave a message on the help desk
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Help_desk> or
send an email to the public mailing list
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments>. We do have a
fair amount of documentation
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Documentation>
available, but some of it may be outdated (we appreciate any help in improving
it!).
Like last year, we've also added a tab called 'Organizers' in Wiki Loves
Monuments landing page on Commons:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2019/Organizers
We'd like to encourage you to add your name and those of your team members with
a short description to the list. This information is helpful for those from
outside of the Movement or the project who end up on that page and want to
learn more about your national competition, it also provides an opportunity for
us to get to know each other via this one page. :) Every year, there are more
than 150 national organizers that make Wiki Loves Monuments happen and it would
be great to know more about all of these amazing people. :)
We will also have a presence at Wikimania this year, and organize a meetup.
Please keep an eye out!
If you like to stay informed, make sure you're a member of our discussion
mailing list
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments> (
wikilovesmonuments at lists.wikimedia.org
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wlm-announce> ). The most
important announcements are also sent to our announcement mailing list
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wlm-announce>: if you don't have much capacity for emails, please at least make sure multiple people in your team are subscribed to that! Feel free to forward this announcement to anyone you think may not have received it.
If you have any questions, please reach out! We're here to help each other.
Lets have a great competition again :) Especially as this will be the 10th
edition since we started on this journey back in 2010!
Best,
Lodewijk
on behalf of the international team
