Some general organizational tips:
* Keep a very clear timeline
* Have a whip who makes sure the timeline is kept - but not necessarily voting member of the jury.
* Deadline is October 31 - then you *must* submit your nominations to the European jury!
* Organize a real life meeting for the jury (room, coffee, tea, cookies and some soda - no alcohol :P & travel reimbursement ) and lock the door
* Give a small gift to the jurors and all other volunteers
Hope that helps,

What we did was:
First each jurymember had 1 month time to watch the 12500 pictures (I did this on commons, other with some tools i believe), all 5 jurymembers had to make a selection of 100 pictures. The 5 jurymembers together got like 350 unique pictures.
We came together one evening and watched those 350 pictures, we voted which pictures we wanted to select and which we didn't want (if 3 jurymembers said OK it was to the next round). This way we came to something like 40 pictures. We looked closer to these 40 and this way selected our winners.
The way i watched 12.500 pictures: My idea was that the pictures had to jump out. So I scrolled to the commons cat (took 3-4 hours) and copied every picture which jumped out (some jumped out but had a very bad quality). My first selection can be found here:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Basvb/500 (500 pictures). This selection I brought down to 70 in 3 or 4 steps: selecting the better pictures every time until I went under the 100.
Mvg,
Bas
