[VereinAT-l] Fwd: Wiki Loves Earth 2020 in Austria

Dear Philip, Thank you so much for your work on organizing Wiki Loves Earth photo contest this year! Despite the pandemic, we have got more than 106k photos of nature monuments from 34 countries all over the world. These photos raise awareness on protected areas and help to illustrate Wikipedia (23% of these pictures are used in wiki projects), we are grateful to everyone for making this impact happen. The international winners will be announced soon, stay tuned! To improve future WLE editions, we will appreciate your feedback on organizing the contest. Also, we would like to send you some WLE-branded souvenirs as a present for your work. Please write your thoughts and suggestions on organizing WLE, as well as your postal address in this form — https://forms.gle/C1RDvkhZMuBzknCC7. Stay safe!
