Hi All, The contest if off to a good start but traction for the mobile app is lagging. So far we have 300+ uploads and about 1500 installs of the app. In some countries, the app will broaden participation, so it is a good idea to let your communities know the app is available. We have created a sample banner here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_mobile_application/Mark… Which you can modify as desired. The text is editable so it is easy to translate, or feel free to change the text. The download link is in the banner text and graphics and QR code, so don't worry about that. Please let me know if you have any questions. We can help with re-formatting. In addition, we are seeing some mobile/tech press attention in the US, so the app could help your overall PR efforts. For example: http://allthingsd.com/20120904/wikipedia-mounts-massive-monthlong-photo-com… Thank you.
