    @msbt How about using NodeBB with relevant categories for the countries + projects?

    It handles text images and links, just like we do here.

    @robi nice, a forum is indeed in interesting approach, but maybe a bit tricky to filter textblocks from images, videolinks and such, because there's no given format. But I'll explore that possibility (here's the api link to this topic)

      Maybe consider LimeSurvey or a Nextcloud dropbox for gathering the data

      that is true, we probably have to do some editing on the content anyways, but since we're planning to make this a recurring thing, it would be nice to create something reusable that works and scales.

      @msbt I recently used Nextcloud for something similar and it was sooo nice to be able to make an upload folder for different people, and them only. And then it was all on one central site making it easier for me to use the images and txt files they uploaded. Plus, you get to either buy a cool new domain, or use a subdomain of the cool domain you already have for the event. Makes it seem more "professional" to me.

        This can be done by categories and topics. text topics and image topics segregate them for example.

        Similarly a Surfer directory structure letting people upload to the appropriate place is also a possibility. Shared login or otherwise.

          @msbt Maybe GlideApps? Particularly if the files are not very big (space is expensive on Glide). Very simple to create and maintain (given that it runs off Google Sheets). Happy to help as I have created a few of these apps.

          Or Backendless? It has a Drag n Drop UI builder + a stable backend.

            I recently came across this app which sounds like it could be useful for this too:

            "Simple, Robust and Powerful Tools For Data Collection"

            https://www.kobotoolbox.org/
            https://github.com/kobotoolbox
            https://github.com/kobotoolbox/kobo-docker
            https://github.com/kobotoolbox/kobo-install

            I'm going to add it to the wish list now...

            I use Cloudron with Gandi & Hetzner

              @jdaviescoates thanks, gonna check it out soon!

              Also thanks @navin and @scooke, I'll gather more information on how and what I have to collect, some ideas might not work because there's a max lenght of text and such (which I'm not yet sure if there is, but there are some limitations I reckon).

                I am not sure what you ended up going with. But here are some thoughts. It seems like something like https://artcall.org/ might be helpful. It might have a self hosted alternative. Not sure how much customization they allow.

                It might be helpful to look at what academic institutions and museums use. While there are others, here are some off the top of my head to give you an idea of what I am talking about.

                https://omeka.org/
                Omeka S:For institutions managing a sharable resource pool across multiple sites

                Omeka Classic:
                For individual projects and educators

                Or something like Arches:
                Arches is an open source software platform freely available for cultural heritage organizations to independently deploy to help them manage their cultural heritage data.
                https://www.archesproject.org/

                I would be interested in what you end up using.

                  An open source alternative to Typeform.com would be great too.

                  Check that, we have OhMyForm on the radar.

                  Who wants to start packaging? 😉

                    @seeker the process is still ongoing, but I ended up using strapi.io to serve the data. The content itself is collected more or less manually, because the images and text need to be edited anyways.

                    I tried to package strapi for cloudron, but I ran into problems when adding node modules like slugify, for whatever reason they aren't recognized after adding them. When I have a bit more time, I might revisit the issues.
