Hi Susana,<div><br></div><div>we indeed discussed this in Berlin as well. In the Netherlands we had some images overly edited ( for example <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/drutenonline/5040086616/in/pool-1516413@N22/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/drutenonline/5040086616/in/pool-1516413@N22/</a> and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lumperjack/3107302684/in/pool-1516413@N22/">http://www.flickr.com/photos/lumperjack/3107302684/in/pool-1516413@N22/</a> . We decided in Berlin that we would leave it up to the jury, assuming that this specific issue would be covered sufficiently by the &quot;useful on Wikipedia&quot; jury instruction. It might be indeed a good idea to suggest to always also submit the original. </div>

<div><br></div><div>Of course editing and then submitting is only allowed if the photo is own work, and editing other people&#39;s work would not result in a valid new submission. </div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div>

Thanks a lot for the answers! I made a note in our rules: editing is allowed, but with caution, so that the photo can still be used in Wikipédia articles. In any case de author can also upload the original.<div><br></div>

&gt; Hello everybody,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; We received an e-mail from someone interested in participating in the<br>
&gt; contest, asking if it is possible to edit the photos (black and white,<br>
&gt; sepia, etc). Has there already been some discussion about this?<br>
<br>
</div></div>In the orginal contest it was accepted, but you need just look at the<br>
3 criteria, technical correct, useable for wikipedia, and nice pictures.<br>
<br>
If you overdo the editing, you will probably loose on the second criterium.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

Andre<br>

&gt; Thanks,<br>
