Dear all, probably you know that the winners for international contest receive a prize as per this grant https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Wiki_Loves_Monuments_internationa....

Like Santa Claus, I have in charge the distribution of the prizes.

This how the prizes will be distributed:

From 1st to 3rd place: 1'000USD for each winner From 4th to 8th place: 400 USD for each winner

Below there is the process, sorry if it's formal but it's connected with a grant:

Step 1: I am contacting the local organizers to be in touch with the winners and to inform the winners about their position and the prize, this helps to avoid an trustfulness communication between me and the winners Step 2: The winner has to write me an email, *putting in copy a local organizer*, where *they accept the prize and give me the real name, an email and possibly the address *(this action is important to define clearly the identity of the winner, the local organizer helps to agree about the identity of the winner) Step 3: In the email they must indicate which kind of prize they would with the data to proceed to transfer the prize. It means a bank account to transfer or to indicate which kind of voucher they would (giving all data helpful to transfer the voucher) (*deadline 15 December*) Step 4: The fiscal sponsor, will proceed to transfer the amount or to buy the voucher after my indication (*deadline 31 December*)

Unfortunately the prizes *must be transferred before the end of December* because the grant must close the 3rd January.

*Winners who doesn't communicate these data before the 15 December are considered automatically like withdrawing the prize* and we proceed to distribute them to the 9th and 10th place.

For this reason I would ask to contact me as soon as possible the following local organizers:

* WLM Germany (I have sent an email to Nicole Ebber, but contact me considering that there are three prizes to distribute) * WLM France * WLM Russia * WLM Iran (they have a reserve)

I am already in contact with these organizers:

* WLM Thailand (I am already in contact with Taweetham) * WLM Italy (in contact with Cristian Cenci) * WLM Austria (in contact with Raimund Liebert)

Kind regards
