Hi all,

The international team is running a campaign on WLM Instagram and Facebook accounts called "Monumental Stories." This campaign is an effort to highlight winning photos at national level that didn't make it to the top 25 of the international competition.

We have reached out to a number of our national winners and asked them to share with us a story about their photo. The stories we've posted so far are very diverse, some are very personal and  touching, some are quite informative. You can check out some of them on our Instagram and Facebook accounts:

So far 11 countries have been featured with 6 more ready to be posted but of course we'd like to highlight photos from all participating countries in 2017 or past years and we also welcome more stories from the ones already featured. The main difficulty so far has been the language barrier. We are looking for help from local teams in collecting these stories in local language and then translating them to English for us. If you would like your country to be featured in this campaign and can help please contact me and I will send you more details on what exactly we need.

Also any help in advertising for this campaign is appreciated. If you have Instagram/Facebook accounts you can share or re-post our stories or you can encourage your followers in Twitter to check out our stories. 

Thanks,

Mohammad
