Activities/Proposals/Wiki Takes Liverpool
A Wikipedia Takes The City event in Liverpool.
Note: this is currently a proposal, containing only planning, nothing definite yet.
Outline
In association with the Liverpool Biennial, this would be a 1-2 day event at the start of May (coinciding with their 'Night at the Museum' event) in the style of a scavenger hunt. Wikimedians and other members of the public would be given a list of targets across Liverpool that need photographs for Wikipedia.
Would also include a component inside museums/art galleries/etc. taking photographs of their collections.
Prizes for those that take the best / most photographs?
