Dear national coordinators, jury coordinators,
Thank you for an amazing job in the past weeks and months in organising what seems to have been yet again an amazing competition in more than 50 countries! It's great to see all the beautiful images that have been submitted.
As you know, the international Wiki Loves Monuments competition is based on a federalised model: there is a national competition in each country, with a national organising team, a national jury, and national winners. The national jury determines up to a maximum of 10 images that will be submitted to the international finale.
These 10 images should be submitted via email to myself before the deadline. Unless you have agreed a different date with Leila (in cc), this deadline is 31 October 23:59 UTC. Submissions after this deadline are not guaranteed to be included in the finale.
We expect to receive up to 10 nominations from the following national competitions: Algeria, Andorra & Catalan Areas; Armenia; Australia; Austria; Azerbaijan; Bangladesh; Brazil; Bulgaria; Canada; China; Croatia; Dutch Caribbean; Egypt; Finland; Georgia; Germany; Ghana; Greece; India; Iran; Ireland; Iraq; Israel; Italy; Jordan; Latvia; Malaysia; Morocco; Malta; Nepal; Netherlands; Norway; Pakistan; Palestine; Peru; Poland; Russia; Saudi Arabia; Slovakia; South Korea; Spain; Sweden; Syria; Taiwan; Thailand; Tunisia; Uganda; Ukraine; UK; US; and Venezuela.
When submitting your finalists, please take these instructions into account: * Submit no more than 10 images per (national) competition. It is OK to submit fewer images, for example if you don't find enough images of high quality. * Submit the images to: neville.borg[at]wikimalta.org, and include at least one (additional) local jury member besides yourself in cc. Please also include Leila (lilyofthewest.wikimedia[at]gmail.com) in cc. * 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 December, and will not wait for national announcements. * For each image please submit the following information: 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. * Ensure 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 by tracking them down through social media. * Ensure that the monument on the image is identified (preferably also described in English). * Ensure that the image is freely licensed. * All national competitions are welcome to add their top 10 nominations to this section ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2017_winners#Finalis...). If you have sub-contests within the national competition that you would like to share the results of publicly, you can use this section ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2017_winners#Others) to do so.
If you want, there are opportunities to also share your national winners on the international blog. Please get in touch with either of us about this.
Thank you very much for your cooperation. After all nominees have been received, this will result in a pool of some 400-500 images for the international jury to consider. Details about the international jury will be published shortly. 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 that they consider unfit from the selection. Finally, they will be asked to rank their top-25 images, and share the reasoning behind their choices. We will create a jury report based on this information. We expect to announce the results in the first two weeks of December (depending upon the swiftness of jury report creation and media opportunities).
We're looking forward to the judging process!
With warm regards, Neville
Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 international jury coordinator

Hi Neville and all,
We finished the probably-final top 10 yesterday in France (BTW, why is France not in your list ?). We are doing some last verifications and will communicate it to you very soon.
Cdlt, ~nicolas
Hi Nicolas,
Thank you for your email and apologies for missing out on France - this was simply an oversight on my part!
We look forward to receiving France's top 10.
Best regards, Neville
