Wiki Loves Monuments

September was Monument Month for Wikimedia Nederland, with Wiki Loves Monuments as main activity. The photo-contest around rijksmonumenten (Dutch national monuments) yielded more than 12.000 images from over 200 participants from all over the country. You can find more information about the general outlines of the project in this blog post. The biggest win in this project is perhaps not even so much the images themselves but the awareness that has been created with the contestants and the lesson that an extremely simplified upload form on Wikimedia Commons helps a lot to lower the threshold for uploading. The jury is now going through all these images and will announce the winners by November 20.
