Images that have no monument go directly against the rules of the competition. So I see nothing wrong in not letting them to compete for the international prizes.

But for me it's surprising to see some rather small-sized, watermarked and low quality images among the best. Could it be due to the selection process? (read: can we fix something there to ensure better quality stuff ending up in final)

Hi all,

I wonder, in some of the international nominees (beautiful pictures again btw, congratulations), there are some where there is no identified monument available. For example, there is a photo of the Nile river without any identified monument, and in Brazil a photo of the Army headquarters without identified monument.

I have my doubts about such photos - while they are of good quality, if there is no identified monument, I wonder if they should be disqualified for the international prizes.

I would value your thoughts on this. Maybe it doesn't come up at all (I don't know how high up they will end), maybe it does.

Best,
Lodewijk
