How to credit organizations and festivals?

Hey mural hunters!
We all love discovering new artworks, but let’s not forget the local festivals and organizations that make many of these murals possible. Giving them credit helps everyone, from artists to fans to event organizers.

:white_check_mark: That’s where marker tags come in!
They’re a great tool to connect murals to events or festivals. If you’re not familiar with them yet, check out this quick guide on how to use them:

:puzzle_piece: How to tag festivals properly:
To keep things clean and searchable, use two tags:

  1. The general festival name (e.g. The Crystal Ship)
  2. The specific edition with year (e.g. The Crystal Ship 2025)

This makes it easy to find all murals from a specific festival and from a specific year, both on the website and in the app. In the future, we plan to use these tags to build dedicated tabs for each edition on festival pages!

:light_bulb: Bonus tip:
Since marker tags are a bit hidden, it helps to mention the festival in the mural description too. Something like:

“Created for The Crystal Ship 2025 – view full map here.”

Let’s keep the community organized and give proper credit where it’s due! :raising_hands:

If we travel from outside of the city where the festival is at. And take pictures during the festival. How do we go about putting them in to the Website so that they get connected to the festival and location. Montreal Qc, Canada seems to be missing a lot of photos

Linking the festival is done through marker tag feature explained above.

Not sure what you mean with location though, I’m guessing you hunt in a different city then Montreal.

Than the suggestion feature is more likely the right method

Yeah I live in a different city. And the suggestion feature was what I used. But boy I hope my preaching the app promotion to people in Montreal gets some locals on board. Because there’s alot of art there. And so many don’t have pictures attached. Makes hunting it harder.

Totally agree, maybe giving you temporary acces to Montreal makes more sense, so yu can clean some things…

If I was still in Montreal that would be good. But as I’m back in Edmonton it’s no longer required.
