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.
