Hi all,
thanks everyone for your hard work! I know that in some
countries it was even harder than in most, but I'm proud you
all managed to send in some nominations. We have received in
total 503 nominations from 51 competitions (52 countries).
Minor request: it seems the tool can't handle well files
being moved. I would appreciate it if we could somehow not
move the files during the judging process :) I know there's
no perfection possible here since not all nominees are
known, but keep an eye out please.
A few more requests:
* Please help make sure all nominees fit the criteria.
Most specifically, the 'is an identified monument' criterium
is not always followed. Meaning, that not all photos that
won a competition, have the monument clearly identified with
its identifier. This you can help with, by going through the
published winning photos and tagging them.
* Please create & fill a category with the nominated
pictures. Probably we want to create a template for this
again like last year.
* If someone could set up a thankyou template that can be
delivered to the nominated authors, that would be awesome
too.
The jury just started its first round - no more changes
are possible to the nominees.
I expect outcomes of the jury process by the end of
November. We will publish them around 10 December - giving
us time to contact the winners, prepare a press release and
jury report. We will also get in touch with the 'winning
chapters' a few days before the release.
Thanks all for making it possible that an amazing number
of awesome photos have been uploaded,
Lodewijk
