Hum, maybe we should remember than most of us are not native english speaker and than it is difficult to really evaluate the tone of others message! :-)


Yes we decide from a long time than the swiss contest will start in july, even before the dicusions about european contest really start. So, for this year we won't have swiss pictures in the contest? And? What is the real problem? Promotion of commons and heritage are the primary objectives, the contest is just a mean, not an end.

Participation of the swiss pictures and communication are false problems, no one wil do "european" communication, it will be the sum of national communication.

In switzerland we will communicate that the contest is european, and that's all, honestly people don't care about the length of the contestvand the exact number of participating country.

After the contest, it will be the same, nobody will remember the format of the contest, but we will communicate about the number of pictures upload, and at this moment nobody will come to argue that swiss pictures doesn't count :-)

The fact that we already start doesn't mean that we won't help to organize the contest! Btw, who's in charge of looking sponsor from camera companies? Sony has a special program for that, if nobody try canon or nikon or other brand for the moment, I could try Sony CH

Kind regards
Ziko
