I don't like the winners in 2011. They are nice
pictures, but they tell
little about the monuments. I want institutions to use the pictures and to
give pictures to commons. If we have something unik that will be easier to
do. I am in the moment talking to 2 parts about cooperation in GLAM-work and
want usefull pictures not only the nice ones. As trained in
building-protection I see a great opertunity to have pictures documenting
monuments in many countries and want people to think about this in 2012.
Indeed, as I am generally against forsing anything on local juries - I
would seriously reconsider the way that interational jury will work.
IMHO 2011 international jury was mainly focused on "wow factor" and
not enough on the documentary usefullnes and technical quality of the
picture. I would suggest to do in 2012 in such a way:
a) local juries choose pictures for international nomination as they wish
b) picture nominated must go normal judgement for quality pictures on
Commons and only those which get the quality picture status can be
considered by jury

c) international jury chooses winners from the b) set of pictures - not from a)
It should be announced before contest, so there will be up to local
juries if they are about to send pictures to b) before their
nomination or just take a risk and let do it international jury.
