Hello, I'm Mono on the Wikimedia Commons. I'm helping to organize< http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Picture_of_the_Year/2010/Committee> of the Fifth Annual Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/COM:POTY/2010>10>. In case you haven't heard about it, it's a contest where the featured pictures selected from 2010 on the Wikimedia Commons are voted upon by the community. Last year, a great deal of users participated, however, the Wikimedia community landscape has changed, as many of our newer editors aren't used to the Commons and haven't ever seen POTY play out. We'd like to see an increase in participation from around our projects. Because of this, I feel that it would be appropriate to post a global notice for logged-in editors during the competition (there are two rounds; each one lasts about a week) to encourage the broader community to participate. The general consensus is that non-fundraising banners require community consensus, so I'd like to get some feedback. Finally, I would like to be the first to invite you to participate in the contest...it is expected to occur in early May. Hopefully, you'll see a global notice announcing the start of Round 1. Until then, the contest is looking for help translating several messages into different languages over at the translation page< http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2010/Translat… .
