Well then, that says it all. The winners from each contest are eligible for the european contest. But since each country has its own rules, and the number of winners (from different categories) depends on those rules, it think Nuno has the best solution. Send 5 (i would go with only 5) from each category. Even if there are only 3 official local winners with a local prize, the 5 best will be considered to go to the european contest.

Well, Maarten, I rather do it sooner, as we (all) still have to find a
national juri, and convince them to participate. And since the challenge
is in September, the sooner, the better ;) I predict that things will be
easier for this task, if we already have a draft of both national and
general rules.

In the Commons page it is said:
«
The European contest will be jury based competition for the best photo
of a monument where a European jury will select winners from nominees
taken from the winners of the national quality contests.
»

Like I said, it seems to me that "now" is a good moment to "worry" about
this :-)
