Processing 100,000 images in a fair and meaningful way is not going to be easy. Doing it with minimal IT won't help. My suggestion is that you try a category based system using hidden categories. Start all 100,000 in a category "Images submitted to WMUS 2012," then allow anyone to review them by creating hidden categories "WMUS 2012 reviewed by username" and "WMUS 2012 nominated by username". the last two would be subcategories of WMUS 2012 reviewed and WMUS 2012 for consideration by jury. The reviewer would merely use hotcat to replace
Images submitted to WMUS 2012 with one of their categories, or if they are reviewing images that someone else has reviewed they could add their hidden cat to confirm or disagree with that of the first reviewer
If anyone can review any image they don't have a COI on - ie they took the picture or they took a rival picture of the same monument. then you have a chance of getting all 100,000 looked at at least once. And provided at least one person thinks it worth consideration then the jury can focus on a smaller number of images. If someone nominates too many images then get others to look through them and only have the jury look at ones that someone else has also commended.
If you, or any country is short of reviewers then you might consider making an appeal to chapters that are not running WikiLoves Monuments this year. There are probably quite a few of us and this is a way for us to at least get a toe in the water this year.

It looks like WLM-US is having bad luck coming up with an automated
voting/screening system to sort out the large number of photos we
expect to have uploaded. Does anybody have any suggestions or
technical solutions? Just to give the basics, I think WLM-US has to
be prepared to screen 100,000 photos down to the 500 that the jury can
deal with directly. That will likely take input from over 50 editors,
e.g. the general logged in US population of editors, and take
processing from early on in the contest while the contest is still
running, e.g. before Sept. 10. Any help appreciated,
Pete
