What kind of prize do we want? My understanding is that prizes come from other sponsors too.
Monetary value of the prizes are not very high. I believe that we can raise the fund for it.

The sad thing is that one major thing that won't be available this year is international prizes. Even if we get international team, I doubt they will apply for a grant from WMF and ask for prizes for international winners.
In this case, I don't think we really need an international team.. Romaine is doing good. He's providing good technical support.

Hi All,
My understanding is different. There are at least three people volunteer to be on the international team. They have indicated their intention on this mailing list:

If we really need to have more volunteers for the international team, I believe that we can do so. But the question is probably beyond that:
What do you expect to get from an international team? Technical support? Value-added to the competition?
Best, Taweethaも

Hi all,
I was approached about the international website, after Saqib's email about this.
I see it this way: To the best of my knowledge, there is /no/ international wiki loves monuments competition in 2014 - not enough people volunteered for an international team. At the same time, there are some /national/ competitions that will be organized, but without a real international layer.
This is no problem, as we discussed before the possibility to have Wiki Loves Monuments international in odd years (2013, 2015 etc) and Wiki Loves Earth international in even years (2014, 2016 etc).
This has the implication that I will alter the website sometime soon to reflect this intention. I will remove the links to the national competitions from the sidebar to avoid outdated information. I will link to the commons page for more information about national competitions that may or may not happen in 2014.
If my assumptions here are off the chart, then please speak up. If I totally missed an announcement, please let me know.
Hope that helps and clarifies,
Lodewijk
