It's good to provide a streamlined process with as few options as possible, but don't try to give less than we should!
- I think we should provide the users the option to participate into the
Europeana award. They are the ones in the best position to assert that their photo is indeed somehow related to the topic, and their lack of participation in the subcontest shouldn't depend on a noticing that it could participate (we would still remove and add when ovbious, as usual).
- The baseline participantes are using the UploadWizard. A new checkbox does
add an option but is a one-line step.
Requesting an addition on wikitext would be unfriendly.
Another UI would add more complexity than what is added by that checkbox.
Thus, IMHO we should go the UW checkbox path.
Just for the record, adding a checkbox is a little more work from the code point of view than adding a select combo box, and I haven't been able to get my tiny little patch reviewed and merged into the UploadWizard for the select combo box[0], so I would abandon all hope of having these two features in time for the contest.
