A clever way of doing it would be to ask people who are already attending the concerts to submit their photos. Or, you know, asking the bands themselves.
Hiring somebody, buying them a camera, sending them to the concert to take photos is what I would classify as the least cleaver way of solving the problem.
- Argorak 14y agoThey are _not_ hiring someone. They are sponsoring community members doing the legwork. The problem is that if you are not accredited to concerts, picture rights are very messy. Most of the time, concert entry with proper camera equipment is not allowed or - by buying a ticket - you waive rights to the picture. The easiest way to get usable pictures at concerts is to get accredited as a photographer. Also, bands of note and their labels usually don't provide pictures with open licensing as requested by wikimedia commons. The same goes for accredited photographers already present at the concert. Please click through to the discussion of the project, all this was discussed before the grant was given. The inability to gather usable media is the core of the funding request.

The community debated (extensively) what they want to do, and some "journalist" from the peanut gallery comes in sniping at the good work of others. Orlowski is a disgrace.
