Benefits

It benefits the projects - especially Wikipedia - as it generates photos that can be used.

Financial requirements

Not much - prizes Could be sponsored as per Wikipedia Loves Art

Volunteering

Organisers (two? - one Board, one non-Board? User:AndrewRT was original proposer.) Participants to take photos, process, upload, use (as many as possible)

Discussion

We could try to generalise things a bit more - e.g. go a bit more sciency and get the Science Museum and/or Natural History Museum involved, or have an additional focus on architecture. Mike Peel 22:43, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
