For this point you might consider to add a sort of did you know that you can see on a pictures page where it is used? to a sort of thank you message. Another thing could simply be a list of pictures used a lot (and other similar lists) to motivate people (smaller things without prices just lists of those)
Maybe we could have one of the bots leave a thank you message when one of the images is used (you could make that a bit higher if that becomes to spammy). A user should only get the message once and should have a link to a tool to show the usage of images uploaded by a certain user. Do we already have such a tool? I think this would be a great motivator, not only for Wiki Loves Monuments but for Commons as a whole.

images are
used, and it is extremely motivating if you upload an image of a
monument
in Portugal and it ends up being used on Finnish Wikipedia. I
think this
year we should pay attention to this (mey be even think for an
image used
in most articles globally - but here we run a danger of users
replacing
other images with their image, which is not what we want to
stimulate).
Cheers Yaroslav
It's also a bit hard to quantify the number of images in articles, as many monument lists appear in the NS 0, inflating the usage count.
It would indeed be cool if a few hours after uploading an image, the uploader would get an email saying "Thanks for your photo, it now appears in Chinese Wikipedia"
