Images for this year's events will go into: "Category: ArtAndFeminism 2016" on Wikimedia Commons. Each event should also have its own subcategory on Commons.
If your event does not yet have a category on Commons, create one before uploading images to Commons. You can create a category by typing in the Search Bar: "Category:ArtAndFeminism 2016/YOUR EVENT LOCATION" Then you must create the category by typing in a few words in the page to describe what the category is, and pressing save. Once you've created the category, you should be able to tag images you upload with this category. You can also put your category into the category: Commons:Category:ArtAndFeminism_2016 by adding: [[Category:ArtAndFeminism_2016]] at the bottom of your category.
