Hello everyone !
We did it ! In spite of complicated situations, we did it !
This is just a quick email to acknowledge the end of the contest itself
and discuss the next steps
*****
We are still sorting out images provided. It must be between 7800 to
8300 pictures overall (yes, I know, it is vague)
Link to all pictures :

We have a lot of pictures registered in the main category, but not
categorized per country.
And we also have a lot of pictures registered in a country, but not in
the main category.
So currently trying to sort that out...
If you know someone with bot running abilities, there are pending
requests there, please help :

There is quite some work to do to better describe and categorize images
generally.
You may see a list of images without categories here :
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa_2021/Images_ch…
There are over 5500 images needing categories. Jacqueline is on the case
for smaller countries with no teams.
It would be very helpful that you actually look into your own country
category....

I would like to commend the work done by Adoscam, who already got
several images listed as quality images.

Jury - Montage
The topic everyone is looking for...
If you want to get involved in the organisation of the global selection
(or even to lead it ! ) get in touch with Isla about that.
We are planning to run a webinar related to Montage and the set-up.
Expect it in 2 or 3 weeks. If you want to get involved in it, please say
so.

Country jury team
I need to know specifically which countries will run a selection process
AND need some volunteers to stand on their juries. I can find you
volunteers, but I need to know how many people I would be looking for.
So if you need help to find jury members, please contact me.
Cheers
Florence
