These are the rules and guidelines for the Wikipedia Loves Art project USA Movie House Architecture competition sponsored by the Film Society of Lincoln Center.
General Guidelines
[edit]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 Movie House Architecture competition
[edit]The Film Society of Lincoln Center is sponsoring a competition for the best photographs of historic movie house architecture nationwide. We encourage you to submit shots of iconic movie houses, surviving movie palaces, drive-in theatres, crumbling remnants, projection equipment and other aspects of movie house architecture.
Shots must be tagged filmlinc and your.team.name so we can locate them for judging. Film Society of Lincoln Center 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
[edit]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) Images must be your own work, submitted by you.
3) You must register by signing up online.
4) 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".
Point Scoring
[edit]At the close of the competition, Film Society of Lincoln Center staff will assign points for each photograph that they think is awesome. Remember, Wikipedia is looking for quantity and quality.
Film Society of Lincoln Center's Prize
[edit]For the winning team, a five-movie series pass to one of the Film Society of Lincoln Center's film series and a one-year subscription to Film Comment magazine.
