Template:ISA Tool/Instructions for players
The campaign coordinator is the one who decides during the campaign setup which category (or categories) of images will be considered in the campaign and which type of metadata; depicts and/or captions can be asked from the participants.
As a user, to access the list of campaigns, you can go to the Campaign Directory or you may reach a campaign by an announcement by the coordinator in any platform to reach interested participants.
Some campaigns will be archived (closed) while others will be available to join (opened). Select any open campaign you like!
