THE WIKI LOVES PUBLIC ART 2014 CONTEST HAS BEEN POSTPONED
The team working on the international contest has took the decision that we will postpone the Wiki Loves Public Art contest for 2014 and review the possibility again next year. We have reached this conclusion as there are a number of issues that have to be solved for the contest to make sense, and each of them are a potential show stopper. The issues are:
- Legal issues.
- Lack of strong international partners/sponsors.
- Technical issues.
John Andersson, on behalf of the international team

This page contains the organizational timeline for Wiki Loves Public Art 2014. Feel free to use and and consult it if you so please.
The timeline is supposed to be mainly an advise, especially when it comes to local organization: you can choose to do things differently, and if you want to start working on some things earlier or to prepare your own timeline, you are very welcome to do so! Not everything on the timeline has to be done. The dates are only suggestive, and often not meant to be that specific. The most central things are marked in green. You can make a local copy of the timeline, and adapt it at your wishes.
