This is quite an exciting development!! Of course, it could always speed things up (and encourage others to donate their already created models) if there was a specific global prize category for 3-D modeled monuments …?

There are definitely people out there making 3D models of monuments, one example being http://www.noe-3d.at/ http://www.noe-3d.at/ , a website for monuments in Lower Austria.The time time and effort needed to create a model out of several hundred pictures (depending on the size of the monument) are quite high though. Nevertheless, it would be cool if contests could get creators to submit their models under a free license! :-)

Hi all,
As some of you may have noticed, Wikimedia is now supporting the upload of 3D models of objects. See this WMF blog post.
I'm just curious: are there any national competitions planning to focus even slightly on 3D submissions in the coming year(s)? Do we know if it's even feasible for such large buildings?
Let me put it this way: Montage has accepted the challenge to support voting (from the technological standpoint) as long as at least one campaign has a reasonable number of them. This discussion came up in Wikimania 2017. Soooo, we're ready. :D
On another note: I would not be surprised if a couple of campaigns want to give it a try. Some of the local organizers in Israel always look for new angles. :)
And of course, this means fun at the international jury process level. I'd say let's give it some months to see if people will pick it up.
