Very nice! I noticed there is no QR code in the flyer or the poster. Is this a conscious decision? Especially on a poster it would be nice to send people directly to the WLM website in their language. We put a QR code on the ad for Europa Nostra, but that links only to the european website.

You can make your specific QR code and add it to your flyer or poster. Will the upload work for the iPhone camera? Because it would be great if people could casually participate with an iPhone if they know the Monument number (which is sometimes on the monument itself).
You can generate QR-codes from a URL here:
http://www.qrcodegen.com/
If you don't have an iPhone, you can send a picture of a QR code for testing here:

I really like the flyer showing the three logos for Wikipedia, Wikimedia, and Commons. I think people really need to understand how these three concepts relate to each other in order to understand who is organizing the contest, and also how to link their pictures to articles (if they want to do that).

Yes, the "triptico" idea is great!
