Hi Tomasz,
we definitely want to encourage a federative model. So chapters run primarily a local contest, specified to the local needs (although we could create a centralized website pointing to the participating websites). Uploading will be through seperate forms for each country, but of course all on commons/flickr (ideally we would like to offer both in each country, but that is a practical detail we can work out later), so as far as that goes it is also federated. I do not believe it would be helpful if we force the chapters into a model that doesnt fit them.
Best,
Lodewijk

There are a few important points I would like to share with you:
- Wiki Loves Monuments EU 2011 will be organized in a federative way -
that
means that you are responsible for organizing a contest in your own
country.
Ideally following similar principles, but there will be a lot of own responsibility. We do want to make it easier for you though, so if you
need
advise, we will be available; technical infrastructure can of course be shared. 2) If you are interested to participate, even if you do not know for sure yet, or if there are dependencies, please share that information! We
created
a table on Wikimedia Commons, [3], please fill that table with the information available for your country! Especially the chapter contact
and
the "want to do WLM" columns. If you have doubts and need advise, just
start
a new thread on this mailing list and we can all help each other.
I just wonder how it is going to be organised. I mean - if the local chapters may organise local contests in their countries - and then the winners of local contensts will be in some sort of way recognized and prized on top-EU-level, or it is going to be centralised from the very begininig - i.e people will upload pictures through one central website and the results are to be judged on central level as well ?
