I don't think we will gain that much new contributors using a more prominent sitenotice. Most people just ignore it. Just ask friends and family, do they read that message?

I organised WLM both in Belgium and South Africa, and I have far better experiences attracting people with a personal approach, eg. real life WLM events, our mailing list, Facebook groups.

+1 to that. The central notice banner should be part of a broader campaign to promote Wiki Loves Monuments. Last couple of years we also had articles in magazines, etc. Bit too late for that now I guess...
