History-charged winner images in Argentina
Maybe it’s a cliché, but after the snowy Canada, we definitely would like to present the winners of a more southernly country. Let’s go to Argentina!
Wikimedia Argentina and Wikimedia Ibercoop successfully cooperated to organize Wiki Loves Monuments in this country. They organized a launch event at the University of La Plata at September 3rd and used it not only to present the photo contest, but signed cooperation contracts with the university to digitize public domain work. An example that shows how Wiki Loves Monuments fits like a glove in the wider GLAM activities.
The international organizers are happy to see how active and successful the Spanish-speaking world adopted the contest, hopefully this is a good sign to form a diverse international team to organize Wiki Loves Monuments 2013!
