I've noticed the following sub categories at
Category:Images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2012
[×] Featured pictures from Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 (empty)
[×] Valued images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 (empty)
[×] GLAM images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 (empty)
[×] Quality images from Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 (87 F)
Ida thunk that it's best to leave the judging of Quality, Valued, and
Featured pictures up to the juries first, and then go through the
Wikimedia process, but I'm sure there's no rule against doing it this
way.
I'm more interested in which images should go in the GLAM category and
who should put them in there.
A general statement of how these categories should be used would also help.

Hi Peter,
incidentally, I have only created three of those four categories
today; they are there to gather--as one might guess by their
names--Featured pictures, Valued images and Quality images as defined
by the Commons community.
The local juries, and even the international one, are not related to
this community process, and the Commons community does not need to
wait for them to start or end their work; the juries also do not need
to take the judgement of the community into consideration at all.
The GLAM category has been created by Maarten, and is intended to
gather images of gallery, library, archives and museum buildings
uploaded as part of WLM; it is my understanding that everyone is
allowed to put his/her images there as long as they represent a GLAM
building (though Maarten might comment on this further).
After the end of the competition, images gathered in that category
will be reviewed by Europeana, and the winner will be awarded a
special prize sponsored by that organisation. More information on this
will be published on the international website on Sunday.
And by the way, if you're interested in all content from Wiki Loves
Monuments that has been highlighted by the Commons community in one
way or another, please have a look at
<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Highlighted_content_from_Wiki_Loves_Monuments>.
Thanks,
