[This email contains important information on how you can submit the 10 nominees of your country to the international finale and the deadlines. Please forward this to your coordinators if need be.]

Dear national coordinators, jury coordinators,

As you know, the international Wiki Loves Monuments competition is based on a federalized model: there's a national competition in each country, with a national organizing team, a national jury and national winners. The national jury determines up to (maximum) 10 images that will be submitted to the international finale.

These ten images *should be submitted via email to the international jury coordinator* before the deadline: rodelarwiki@gmail.com. *This deadline is* *5 December*, 23:59 UTC. But if you like me, please send them at least a few days before that time. Submissions after this deadline are not guaranteed to be included in the finale. When submitting your finalists, please take these instructions into account:

* Submit no more than ten images per (national) competition. It is OK to submit less images, for example if you don't find enough images of high quality.

* Submit the images to: rodelarwiki@gmail.com, and include in the CC at least one (additional) jury member besides yourself.

* If the results are still not public (if you plan to announce them later publicly), please add the planned announcement date. Please note that we will announce the international winners in January/February, and will not wait for national announcements.

* Submit for each image: URL, File name on Wikimedia Commons and Author username

* Check basic information about the images. It is NOT possible to replace finalists after the deadline!

** that the author has activated their email function on Wikimedia Commons. If we cannot email the user there, they may automatically forfeit any prize. You can help them by posting a message on their talk page, or tracking them down through social media.

** that the monument on the image is identified (preferably also described in English)

** that the image is freely licensed

As of today, the following countries *have not sent their 10 finalists via email*. Please do so *before 5 December*. Submissions after this deadline are not guaranteed to be included in the finale.

Thanks a lot for your cooperation. After all nominees have been received, this will result in a pool of some 350-430 images for the international jury to consider. The jury will first rate all images with 1-5 stars, from which a top-40/60 will be considered. Then, the jurors will have the opportunity to remove images from the selection, which they consider unfit. Finally, they are asked to rank their top-25 images, and share their reasoning. We will create a jury report based on this information. We expect to announce the results in January/February.

We're looking forward to the judging process!

With warm regards,

Rubén Ojeda

International jury coordinator, Wiki Loves Monuments 2023
