Hi all,

as a short status update: I have received nominations from 33 countries. Belgium and Luxembourg have not submitted any nominations. This means that the pictures submitted to the Belgian and Luxembourg contests will never have made a chance to win an international prize, and will unfortunately not count for the total amount of submitted pictures or participating countries as far as official numbers will have to be produced. I am very glad that even though there have been many hurdles, all other countries have been able to submit their nominations! 

As a next step, I will combine all images and submit them tonight to the international jury. 

Kind regards,

Lodewijk
