- Countries promoting more than ten images (can the rest of us promote
more than ten? we've just trying to tie break between the tenth and the eleventh picture and wonder if we can just sent eleven)
It would be good if Lodewijk can clarify what's happening in this case. We
(Iran) had to use a rule to break ties or otherwise we would end up with 11 pictures. If going beyond 10 is an option, I'd like to discuss it a bit more to make sure we give our participants the same chance other countries are providing to theirs. :)
Thanks, LilyOfTheWest

Here are the two examples we ran into in Iran's contest this year:
- We had two questions early on about the unlisted monuments and
whether
people can upload photos for those. The two examples that I heard were
the
Caspian Sea (which resonates with the Nile river photo) and Milad
Tower in
Tehran. In both cases, I told the users that they cannot upload these
photos
as part of the contest since they are not registered. (Milad Tower is
one of
the most iconic towers/buildings in Tehran and I would count it as a monument if the formal registration wasn't a concern.)
This is a contest, so it's important to have a level playing field for all the participants: draw the line before it starts (define a list, a criteria or such) and accept for the contest only what's in. Otherwise, some people will (rightfully) be disappointed.
yup. That's what we did, we said there are 26K plus monuments you can upload for that are listed, and anything outside of that won't be considered.
- We ran into an uploaded photo of a monument with no ID, too, and we
decided to keep it. Here is a longer version of the story and how we
decided
to move forward:
We have the Cyrus' tomb as part of the top 10 photos with no monument
ID
associated with it. In this case, Pasargadae which is an area that
includes
the Cyrus' tomb has a monument ID, but Cyrus' tomb itself seems not to
have
one, and we decided that we can consider the photo from Cyrus' tomb as
a
photo of Pasargadae, and then later figure out if it needs to be
registered
on its own as well or not. But, we didn't manually add the ID to the
photo.
In this case, it seems to us that it was confusing to the uploader what monument he/she had to choose (all the uploaders' other photos are associated with monument IDs), and it seemed the uploader had decided
to go
ahead and upload anyway. We accepted this upload.
Give the Tomb the monument ID for Pasargadae, since it is a part of it, a detail For example, if you have a house which is a monument, a photo with a detail from it (a door, a window or such) will get the ID for the whole house, is the same thing as with your case.
Makes sense. I'll do that.
