Hi all,
I did not have news, neither from the person who said she will contact him, nor from him.
Thanks for any update,
I'll ask again. I'm sorry this is going so messy! We're in touch with the partner who was supposed to handle this, but it seems all possible things that could go wrong went wrong :S

No problem -- as long as you don't mind a gentle reminder once in a month :)

Hi Bastien,
I understand that they have contacted the winner in the summer months.

Thanks for the double-check -- I've ask the winner if he heard about them (he told me he would told me... but maybe he just forgot.) I'll let you know if not, otherwise sorry for the bump/noise!
Best,
Just as a side question: We will have the video prize this year? If so, let's make sure isn't the same people, or, if is, that they give the prize earlier. (I mean, receive the prize 15 days before the next competition is horrible for marketing.) _____ *Béria Lima*

A shame, but I think that is better than all this drama.
Videos are still allowed, right? _____ *Béria Lima*

Hi Beria,
the video prize was discontinued because we evaluated the video contest back in December and realized that our upload infrastructure is simply not up for it. The threshold to participate in a video contest is way too high and at this moment Wikimedia Commons is unfortunately not ready to ask people (newbees) to upload videos. Also the copyright issue becomes quickly complicated in videos (background music etc). The decision there had not really anything to do with the problems to connect the sponsor with the winner.
Whether we allow videos in the photo competition is a good question and not obvious for me. We probably wouldn't disqualify them, but at the same time I have a hard time seeing a video win a photo competition.
Best, Lodewijk

And FWIW, I think videos should not compete with photos.
Maybe a separate video contest, specifically targetting CH institutions, would be efficient.
Those institutions often have existing processes for short videos, they would solve the copyright issues upstream, and certainly appreciate the exposure if they win.
