Hi,

That would be great.

Unfortunately, none of the POTY winner files are in the public domain. I am unsure if it possible to get a permission in the next days.  A text-only announcement would be perfectly fine as well.

A example from 2013 POTY: https://twitter.com/wikicommons/status/426886367134498816

Thanks in advice and best regards,
Steinsplitter

I can share from WMF verified accounts. Posting a past year's winner with the text would get much more attention. I don't see one that is PD or CC0. Do we have - or can we get - permission from one of the photographers?
