General Guidelines

Shoot on your own or create a small team (10 people, tops) and sign-up online. Use the scavenger hunt list posted here to take shots and cross off as many subjects on the list as possible. Upload shots to the Wikipedia Loves Art group on Flickr with the correct Creative Commons license required by Wikipedia (either Attribution Creative Commons or Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons, see here for details) and we will tally the scores. Images uploaded to the Wikipedia Loves Art Flickr group be used to illustrate Wikipedia articles and you'll get full credit when an image is used. Teams with the most points at the end of the month will get a prize. Shots must be taken and uploaded during February 2009.

Specific Guidelines for Shooting at the Museum of Modern Art

Shots must be taken in existing light only (no flash) and tripods cannot be used.

Shots must be tagged MoMA and your.team.name and category.name so we can easily sort them. Museum of Modern Art staff may add other tags as needed to help keep track during the hunt.

See the Wikipedia Loves Art Flickr group for posted meetups.

Qualification Notes

1) Shots submitted must be licensed with the correct creative commons license required by Wikipedia. That's got to be either "Attribution Creative Commons" or "Attribution-ShareAlike Creative Commons". There is no resolution requirement.

2) You can only shoot the paintings which are on our scavenger hunt list.

3) Images must be your own work, submitted by you.

4) You must register by signing up online.

5) In order to properly score everyone's entries administrators will be adding machine tags [they:look="like this"] to your photographs. So, please don't delete these tags, even if they look a little weird. Also, this means you need to have tagging turned ON in your Flickr account in order to qualify. To do this, go to your account settings, the privacy & permissions tab, and make sure "Add notes and tags:" is set to "Any Flickr user".

6) In order to properly score entries, the clean shot must be "public" on Flickr and in the Wikipedia Loves Art group. See this thread for more info.

Point Scoring

Score 1 point for each photograph submitted to a category. Multiple photographs can be submitted to a category as long as they represent different works of art (each photograph will earn you 1 point). At the close of the competition, User:Cary_Bass, from the Wikipedia Foundation, will assign bonus points for each photograph that he thinks is awesome. Remember, Wikipedia is looking for quantity and quality. See this thread for clarification.

Museum of Modern Art's Prize

For the winning team who shot at the MoMA to accomplish checking off their list, private after-hours tour for up to 10 people guided by an art historian.
