Can a local organiser apply to be part of the international team and whilst he or she performs his or her duties as a local organiser?

Dear organizers, As you all know, Wiki Loves Monuments is organized on two levels. There's you - *thank you* for that! - the members of Wikimedia chapters and groups, who organize all the national and regional contests that are at the base of WLM all around the world. And then there's the international organizing team (

As time goes by people make new plans and lifes are changing, and so is the team behind WLM international,
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2025/Organiz... . Right now we are looking for new volunteers that would like to be part of the international team and would like to join in to work alongside the more experienced international team members.
We are looking for more people that are willing to help with:
- Outreach and coordination
Communications with local organizers all around the world if they need support. Reach out to new possible organizers and invite them to participate. Or help with contacts to national or international organizations in the field of built heritage.
- Jury coordination
Help with the final round of Wiki Loves Monuments, where the winners of the international finale are determined. From finding jurors to supporting them through the process to finally find the winning pictures.
- Insights and analysis
Savvy with surveys and analysis? Help us learn from the experiences of national organizers and all the participants.
- Technical Infrastructure
Volunteers to help with tools like Erfgoedbot are needed, because of ongoing maintenance for these tools. New tools may be introduced. Please reach out if you are interested and are able to commit for a longer period of time.
All the tasks can be combined or be done in collaboration. Although we are active all year long, no task is requiring the same level of attention all the time. Experience within the movement is needed and with local WLM competitions probably very helpful for this. Think about it and we'd love to hear from you! Please contact Lodewijk ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Effeietsanders ) or Manfred ( https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Manfred_Werner_(WMAT) ).
