That also goes to any other local organizing team.

Hi Anton Protsiuk Our apologies for the delay. I would like to inform you that the jury has already finished its work and we did the prize-giving ceremony for the laureates on Saturday, July 20, 2019 at 1 at the French-language Digital Campus of the University of Abomey calavi We were able to contact all the winners even if he was not all present that day. There is only one laureate who was present with whom we are in contact and who will soon come into possession of his prize because he is very far from Cotonou.

We are asking all local organizers to confirm they checked the photos for relevancy (i.e. whether the photos really depict a nature protected area) themselves. We will pay particular attention to the countries for which we will not manage to receive such a confirmation.

Hi Anton,

Thank you for this as well. Sorry for troubling, but I have one more question as we close WLE for Sri Lanka.

We noticed that some of the final winning photographs are by the same photographer. What do we do in this case? Do we award two certificates? And if so, do we also award two prizes to the same photographer?

Asking here for the benefit of others :-)

Hi Martins,

Thank you. That makes sense. I personally prefer to limit one place per photographer to have a wider and more diverse reach, but that would mean disqualifying very very good pictures. And I'm not sure what other implications this would have.

Hello Anton,

Following the email I sent you off-list, would it be wise if we adopt a one photo per winner rule now, and push up other winners? Or, do you or the org team, have any alternative suggestions?

Looking forward to your thoughts.

Yours truly,
