One of the most important things to do is to create a
list of monuments
on your language's Wikipedia. You can copy the Romanians' template and
adapt it for Moldova, for example. After that is done, contact the
global technical contact (last year it was Multichill, not sure about
this year yet) and get them to run the bot to add your list to the
global database.
Then you need to set up a dedicated website for your project. This is
not a requirement but most countries did it and it helps a lot and adds
seriousness to your project. It can look something like
wikilovesmonuments.org <http://wikilovesmonuments.org> -- the WordPress
theme used there is available for everyone to use (couldn't find it
quickly, but I should be able to send it to you when you're ready to
deploy a site).
You also need to set up your banner on Commons (fairly easy and can be
done later).
There above are the major "virtual" steps that need to be taken. Some of
the real-life steps were outlined above and essentially consist of
partnering with your local heritage authority, gathering volunteers,
having events, promoting your competition, etc.

Also, trying to get partners, which you can then use for providing the
competition prizes. You should also get a few judges that will select
the local winners.
I can add the template to the toolserver project for import into the db.
