Hi Kilian,
there will indeed be such a prize - some of the details are being worked out as we speak.
It will be a parallel subcompetition - and all we have to do is run our own competition. Then a jury from Europeana will work out which of the photos is Art Nouveau, and which will win. The planning is to have the prize announced at the same moment as the other European prizes.
What the award will be exactly is still in talks. Currently the idea is to only have one winner.
Best regards,
Lodewijk

<kilian@k-kluge.de>Hi Lodewijk,
about two weeks ago you announced the Europeana Art Noveau price (http://www.wikilovesmonuments.eu/2011/07/30/art-nouveau-prize/), first of all I have to say I'm really excited, congratulations to everyone who worked on making that possible!
Since September is coming closer and we're starting with press releases etc, I wonder about the details.
What I got from the post was that every picture submitted to the contest will enter the Art Noveau price competition. Will we need to categorize all Art Noveau pictures in a special WLM-Art-Noveau-Category or is Europeana digging through tens of thousands of pictures? If there's going to be a special category for the price, we'll probably need the participants to select beetween "This picture contains Art Noveau", "I'm not sure" and "This picture has no Art Noveau in it"?
Secondly, I wonder what the actual prize is going to be, wether there'll be more than one winner, when the winner will be announced etc.
Best regards,
Kilian
