Wikimedia Italia had a pre-jury who selected 500 pics for the Jury.
We did not use the judging tool, as it would be better (more reliable, more formal) to have every picture seen and evaluated from multiple persons (and not just one).
If the judging tool could be set up like that, it would be *very* useful also for different workflows.

In case of Poland - we had over 50000 pictures to select - in fact the
highest number of all local WLM contests ;-) Our jury consisted of 3
wikimedians and 4 external experts. In fact only wikimedians were
engaged in first selection. It was organized spontaneously by
secretary of the jury. He has collected lists of pictures in
alphabetical order and put it on his discussion page of Wikimedia
Polska wiki:

He created general rules of selecting pictures - which was almost
purely technical. As it was too much work for 3 people he asked
several trusted wikimedians to help the jury (including me ;-) ). On
average it resulted in selecting aroun 6% of the pictures - but it was
still a lot (around 3000). In the second round - each member of the
jury was asked to select no more than 100 out of the pre-selected
3000. It resulted in around 500 pictures. From this - each jury member
was asked to select top 12. It resulted in around 60 finalist. The
discussion and final selection of 10 best from 60 finalist was made on
real-life meeting which took several hours of hard discussion ;-)
