Hi Jane,

as far as I know, the top-12-european-pictures calendars will definitely be printed and used as prices for the european competition.

I really like the idea to print different calendars with different topics, but I guess this is something that can be done quite easily. Maybe we can have something like a WLM shop (calendars still printed on demand via an online service, though), but I'm not sure how that works since all Wikimedia chapters are non-profit. At least in Germany that means it's always difficult to impossible for WMD to actually sell stuff.

But well, I'll think about that in October ;-)

We also discussed a calendar option with the top 12 pictures at Euro-level. This could be used for prizes at the country level I suppose also. I'm sorry, but I haven't been keeping up to date on the status of the prizes, so I don't know whether the calendar got crossed off the list.

Maybe we could have a few calendars done; like "Protected city halls of Europe" and "Protected churches of Europe"; or "Strange and funky protected objects of Europe"...

Hi everybody,

Romaine and I just talked on #wikilovesmonuments and he asked me to share my ideas with all of you.

We have a similar situation in Germany (few people actually doing something to organize the contest, very few at not so shiny prices) and I don't see that changing in the near future since nobody has the time to take responsibility.

We're going to have a top-100-list of the best pictures at the end of the contest, so right now the idea is to print all those pictures and send them to the winner. The first 25 could get a really large print, the next 25 something around the A4 format and the places 51 to 100 a smaller one, somewhere between A4 and A5 size.

Of course that's not enough for the top 10, but for the rest it's fine, I guess and the winners can actually use it for quite a long time. At the moment we're trying to find an online printing service to sponsor this, otherwise it's still cheap enough to have WMDE pay for it.

Maybe that's an option for other countries as well?

Best regards,

Kilian

Hello all, hallo allen,

HELP!!

I received today a message from kthoelen that he is due personal circumstances not able to arrange prices. He was the one who took up that part of the Belgian/Luxembourg WLM-contest.

Ik ontving vandaag van kthoelen het bericht dat hij door persoonlijke omstandigheden niet in staat is om de prijzen voor WLM BE/LUX te regelen. Hij was diegene die dat deel van de organisatie op zich had genomen voor de Belgisch/Luxemburgse WLM-fotowedstrijd.

** Who want to help out with this urgent part? **
** Wie wil er meehelpen aan dit urgente onderdeel? **

Current status of prices:
* book packages, and subscriptions on a magazine (year): both **possible**, not sure yet (arranged by MADe)
* Sponsoring of Wikimedia Netherlands and France promised, but concrete?

Huidige status van de prijzen:
* boekpakketten, jaarabonnementen op tijdschrift: beide **mogelijk**, niet zeker nog (geregeld door MADe)
* Sponsoring door Wikimedia Nederland en France toegezegd, maar concreet?

Who want to help with arranging the prices? (Nobody else has taken this up yet, and I personally do not have the time for it.)

Wie wil helpen de prijzen te regelen? (Niemand verder heeft dit opgepakt, en ik persoonlijk heb er de tijd niet voor.)

Help please!

Greetings - Romaine
