| Abstract:
Wikimedia Ukraine has been organising Wiki Loves photo contests for over 10 years, starting with our first Wiki Loves Monuments contest in 2012. Over these years our contests have evolved a lot, as we implemented multiple changes to keep participants interested and involved. While we now have a community of veteran Wiki Loves contributors who deeply care about the contest, we also want to keep the contest relevant and accessible for newbies. Among ideas we experimented are regional and special thematic nominations, separate nominations for the highest number of monuments pictured, awards for previously undocumented monuments, to best newbies etc. |

| How will this session be beneficial for the communities in the region of CEE?
The idea of this session is to discuss difference approaches that worked in Ukraine, and if time allows also hear from the audience what ideas or experiences they want to share or suggest. This presentation will be beneficial for organisers of Wiki Loves photo competitions around the region. The expected outcome is participants learning about ways to improve Wiki Loves competitions that they can implement in their countries or communities. (This presentation can be in a presentation format with mainly focus on WLX Ukraine experience or in a workshop format with more a mix of experience sharing and brainstorming. | |||
