The project

Wikimedia Italia, a non-profit association that since 2005 promotes the improvement and advancement of knowledge and culture, participates in “Wiki Loves Monuments”, and manages the Italian edition of the world's largest photographic competition. For this contest, which takes place every year throughout the month of September, Wikimedia felt the need to create a web app that could facilitate and enhance cultural heritage, as well as encourage users and the community to upload quality photographs of italian monuments on Wikimedia Commons.

Inmagik took care of the UX and UI Design of the web app, optimizing it for both Mobile and Desktop. Lastly, it worked on the implementation of the app and a data synchronization system that interacts with the databases of Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata.
