[Wiki Loves Monuments] Re: Fwd: Call for suggestions jurors

Hi Everyone, it looks like this email may not have made it through for some reason, so resending. I would highly encourage you to think a bit about who in your respective networks would be a good juror for the international jury. We will again try for diversity, but for that to be successful, Ndahiro needs a lot of good suggestions! It would be great if every national organizer could try to share at least one candidate with him, and then we can select a balanced set from that. Thanks so much! If you are trying to think about what makes a good juror, please see the instructions below.

It is a complicated and delicate process to come to a balanced jury, and I would like to outline the criteria here and ask for your input. I have agreed to take the lead on this process - but would definitely welcome your input, and help. - As in the past years, I think it is important to aim once again for a jury that as a whole is neutral and balanced in many ways. This means ideally: - A mix of photography experts, heritage experts, and Wikimedia experts (aiming at a total size of 7-9) - Geographically balanced so that no two jury members come from the same country. - Balance in many other ways imaginable (while at the same time, one can never assure a balance in all aspects) The international jury members do not serve on a national jury for WLM, At the same time, there are some practical considerations: - Jury members must be able to write and read English. - They must have the time to commit to judge 200-500 photos in three rounds over a period of 3 weeks in November, while jury members can participate in a local competition, their photos cannot participate in the international finale. - Jury members should not participate in any national jury for 2021 (previous years is OK) - It would be helpful if the juror would be willing to share their real name for the jury report. - Jury work is in a volunteer capacity. Do you know someone who would make a good juror, please contact me privately with a suggestion? At least let me know who the juror is, how I could contact him/her and why they would make a good jury member (and whether you have reason to believe they would accept the nomination if asked). I will do my best to put together once again a qualified and diverse jury, with your help! Thank you in advance!
