Here's a related idea that I was going to put in its own thread, but
seems close to the theme of a 10-year
retrospective/contest/celebration.
I took part in a meeting last week of Open Educational Resources
projects, hosted by the Hewlett Foundation -- at the end of which we
had a hackfest to flesh out ideas for improving awareness and use of
OERs.
One idea that was popular was organizing an annual OER awards, in
coordination with some existing media fest like the OXCARS, where we
would recognize the best contributions that year to free knowledge and
open education, with high-profile attention for the winners. This
would also recognize and amplify the work of existing contests, from
which it would draw finalists in various categories of content and
learning. The best materials would be wrapped into a beautiful
publication highlighting the world's free creative output that year.
I mentioned the Commons POTY (and other lesser POTY contests) as one
project worth working with and promoting. For instance, the overall
OER awards could draw a few major categories of images from the POTY
classification, and its finalists could automatically be entered into
the overall awards each year.
Thoughts welcome:

but a voting event isnt going to produce any new
contrbituors, its just
going to promote an image thats already been promoted.

The voting could be carried out with the global event. Vote eligibility
could be participating in the events for example.
Of course not every country will have an event so not sure if this
approach is a good one.

Hmm, and maybe something where we can invite more people to Wikipedia?
Billboards with :
Join decade of knowledge. Participate! Write new article!
Or something similar. I am also against POT-DEC, poor thing for big
global event such as this.

Why not a world wide Wikitakes or a Photowalk day that way everyone
everywhere can participate in it, no need for big off Commons organisation

I do not think we want to select POT-DEC (lets not call it POTD which is
something else :) ) from older POTYs since we don't have a large number to
choose from. Also, it would be very boring to re-nominate the same winner
again. If anything existing POTY winners perhaps should be disqualified for
this reason.
I am not too sure about the procedure would be best to be honest. I hope
this discussion would determine that very aspect. :)
US GLAM is appealing but we do want something global. Certainly US GLAM
partnerships should be part of it but they should not be all of it.
WikiLoves Monuments was a good precursor to this kind of activity. Perhaps a
kind of "lessons learned" assessment may be useful while working on this.
