Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 Albania and Kosova

For the 5th year in a row Wikimedians of Albania Language UG, organized Wiki Loves Monuments. Different from other year, this year we encouraged the participants to upload pictures from the monuments that dont have an image yet on Commons and removed the ones who have a lot of pictures from the list. But people were allowed to contribute for all the monuments anyway.

Wiki Loves Monuments 2019 - photo walk in Albania

To increase the participation and also the pictures from monuments, we held a photowalk during Wiki Loves Monuments in Albania. We choose 5 amateur photographers who applied via our form, we paid for their transportation and food and ask from them to photograph Albanian monuments that dont have a pictures or have poor pictures online.

351 pictures were collected during this photo walk. The link for the category: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2019_in_Albania_Photo_Walk
