Deadline? Yes if all complete and the best images ready before the 30 of this months.

Selection process? Hmm, no idea this part. But the process revolves around getting best images submitted from ghana.

Number of people in jury? A couple of persons have showed interest. But I'll be working on trimming down amount of images ( by removing the ones that can't be part of the best images ) before handing over to the jury we're yet to settle on.

Any tools? Nope. No tools know yet.

I think the processing will be specifically about removing images that don't even qualify being on commons. The criteria for uploads of images for the contest, some deviated totally.

The contest was about food. I saw an image of a football team. Just bogus image, in relation to what the contest is about.

Those are the kinda of garbage I'll try eliminating before handing over to the jury.
