There is one thing which we did not emphasize last year (or at least I have not seen it emphasized): that many of the picture they upload actually very quickly end up in lists and some of them end up in articles. I think many of the uploades do not realize how to look up where the images are used, and it is extremely motivating if you upload an image of a monument in Portugal and it ends up being used on Finnish Wikipedia. I think this year we should pay attention to this (mey be even think for an image used in most articles globally - but here we run a danger of users replacing other images with their image, which is not what we want to stimulate).
Cheers Yaroslav
It's also a bit hard to quantify the number of images in articles, as many monument lists appear in the NS 0, inflating the usage count.
It would indeed be cool if a few hours after uploading an image, the uploader would get an email saying "Thanks for your photo, it now appears in Chinese Wikipedia".
