Just to be clear: We were successful :) Talking about new users: 4000 of the
5000 participants were new accounts! Of course you are right if you say
we're not done yet, but there is an opportunity, lets grab it. Oh, and by
the way, in Austria 66% of the uploaders were new. not bad!

I very agree, that the goal, to attrakt new users
with such an
competition as long-term wikipedia-autors, is almost completely missed.
Quick comment: that may have been your goal, it was not mine - or maybe a
side goal.
My hope, if anything, was to raise awareness. Have people notice that
cultural heritage is just around the corner. Make them aware of the fact
that they can contribute photographs to Commons (and just that, and that
even that is great). Have them take part in a free knowledge/culture
project. Make them realise that Wikimedia is a volunteer thing.
Wikipedia and articles are important, of course. But the whole world does
not revolve around it. The free culture world, and even the Wikimedia world,
do not either.
