In the sections below, please describe how the project is related to the Wikimedia mission and Wikimedia's strategic priorities. The project is directly related to the Wikimedia mission and Wikimedia's strategic priorities, as it intends to increase the number of free content (specifically photographs) and promote some outreach activities.

Fit to strategy[редактиране на кода]

This project will support the key organisational objectives by
  • increasing media outreach and public awareness about the Wikimedia projects, their needs and specifics;
  • intensifying the participation of the current and newly attracted contributors, and converting passive consumers of our content into its active producers;
  • promoting the quality of the encyclopedia by accumulating visual content from geographic areas that are usually hardly accessible and yet uncovered;
  • raising our organisational maturity and skills in preparing, conducting and reporting PEGs.
This statement should address at least one of the strategic priorities listed here specifically. See WMF Grants Program criteria for decisionmaking.
Wiki Loves Earth can easily provide large amount of freely licensed photographs that can be used by the Wikimedians to improve the quality of articles on specific Wikimedia projects. It can also stimulate the community to generate content about the natural heritage sites that were photographed during the contest but were not represented with specific articles. The fact that the photographers will have to upload their works to Wikimedia Commons increases the number of users contributing to this project and potentially increases the overall number of active editors, and those aware of the specifics and benefits of free licenses. Since Wiki Loves Earth opens up opportunities to promote the Wikimedia community in the country and support active participation of its members, it can benefit to increase the effectiveness in the work done by the community members.

Benefits[редактиране на кода]

If the project will benefit a specific online community, please tell us.
This project will particularly benefit Wikimedia Commons, as the project intends to collect photographs that will be uploaded there. It will be also beneficial for Wikipedia in Bulgarian, and in other languages, as well as possibly other Wikimedia projects, where the uploaded photographs can be used to improve the quality of content.
Please provide a brief statement about how the project is related to other work in the Wikimedia movement. For example, does the project fit into a work area such as GLAM, education, organizational development, editor retention, or outreach?
Wiki Loves Earth is a project that is closely related to the GLAM programme and the call for participation in the competition can be considered a sort of outreach activity. Last year Bulgarian project attracted 119 participants uploading 1613 photographs.
If successful, will the project have the potential to be replicated successfully by other individuals, groups, or organizations? Please explain how in 1 – 2 sentences.
The project has already been carried out in many other countries in the world on annual basis. In 2015, Bulgaria joined the contest for the first time, and the participation was considered successful.
Please list other benefits to the movement here.
Some of the other benefits for the Wikimedia movement derived from this project are as follows:
  • The organisation of this contest has the potential to increase the media attention to "Wikimedians of Bulgaria" UG and its activities in the GLAM sector;
  • The project can also lead to some networking opportunities with other organizations and institutions.
  • The organisation of the project will benefit "Wikimedians of Bulgaria" User Group by giving an opportunity for collaboration in a project with strict scope, deadlines and financial reporting;
  • The way it will be carried out in Bulgaria can outline some good practices that can contribute to its overall improvement.
