Share Ireland Photography Event - Submission before 21st January


Sligo VEC is calling on all photographers nationwide to join in their celebration of Wikipedia’s tenth birthday.

To recognise the event they are running an event called ‘Share Ireland’. They are asking you to send your photographs from around the country. The aim is to create a library of user-generated images that will be freely available online through Wikimedia Commons – an archive built by community for community. This resource is currently very short on Irish content.

Prizes for participation in events will include digital hampers and mini video recorders, so get those pictures in for a chance to win. You can find out more about Wikimedia Commons. Please bear in mind that images of a particularly personal nature or of copyrighted items cannot be accepted (for example, logos). Photographs of minors must include consent of a parent or guardian.

If you are interested in adding your images to the archives please forward pictures to wikiwander@gmail.com by 5pm on Friday 21 st January 2011. Image title, your name, address and telephone number must also be included.

Full details on this and other events taking place in Sligo HERE.
