Hi Roel,<div><br></div><div>in our experience, the local partners will be mostly interested in the national contest - how that is organized, press, jury, prizes - rather than the exact details of the international round. The important part is that there will be an international contest, and that you will nominate a number of pictures for that. Most likely they don&#39;t care about the exact number. I also suggest that you focus on finding sponsors for the national prize pot (better exposure etc), although international are welcome too.</div>

<br>
In 2011 each country decides for itself how many pictures are considered to be in the top ... of that specific country. Only the top 10 of those were nominated for the international contest.<br>
<br>
In 2011 we had with the contest in Belgium &amp; Luxemburg 22 winning pictures. Only the top 10 of those were nominated for the international contest. It is possible that a country only chooses 3 winning pictures, they still should send in the best 10 pictures for the international contest.<br>

PS: Maybe it is an idea we organize a monthly IRC office hours, but then for all sorts of questions regarding Wiki Loves Monuments. (Of course at other moments the IRC channel #Wikilovesmonuments @ freenode can be used as well for questions.)<br>

Hi Romaine,<br>
I didn&#39;t quite get that, sorry I&#39;m confused this is the first time we&#39;re participating. <br>
So the national contest gets to nominate 2 images? While there would be worldwide nominations where 10 would be chosen by practically anyone?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Roel<br>

There are two sets of nominations: one are the worldwide nominations: that are 10 pictures, two are the national nominations: that number was in 2011 all to the organization to determine, with the top 10 of those getting into the international contest.<br>

Hi,<br>
Going over the timeline that has been set, were confident we can compress the tasks you have provided so we can hold a launch of the project in the Philippines on March 24. Uploading period of entries would still be in conformity with what is provided, from September 1 to 30. So practically from March 24 until September 30 they can take as much photos they would want to enter in the competition but could only upload them from September 1 to 30. <br>







<br>
<br>
I&#39;d like to know though how many entries can a country nominate, is it still 10?<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
