Hi all!
This year, we had Wiki Loves Monuments in the Dutch Caribbean for the first time. In 2013 and 2014 Aruba already competed, but this time we invited people visiting or living in Saba, Sint Eustatius, Sint Maarten, Curacao, Bonaire and Aruba to take pictures and win a prize!
The jurors of the Dutch competition choose the prize winners and they are: First prize: Fish Market Bonaire https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fish--market.jpg, Author: Leslie.Ket https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Leslie.Ket&action=edit&redlink=1 Second prize: Willems Tower & light house watchers home Bonaire https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Willems_Tower_%26_light_house_watchers_home.jpg, Autor: Leslie.Ket https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Leslie.Ket&action=edit&redlink=1 Third prize: Penha House Curacao https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Penhacuracao.jpg, Author: Hannievanbaarle https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Hannievanbaarle&action=edit&redlink=1 Special prize: the Punda Love Hart in front of the Punha House https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Capital_City_-_Willemstad_02.jpg, Author: Bryanandjenn https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Bryanandjenn&action=edit&redlink=1
Congrats to all winners! Ciell
Hi Ciell,
I'm thrilled to see the results from the Dutch Caribbean contest. I'm not sure if you and your team have had learnings from organizing the contest in Dutch Caribbean that you would like to share with others. If you do and you want to share them with other organizers, we would be happy to host a story about it in Wiki Loves Monuments international blog. If you're not sure if a blog post is a right fit, please ping. I'd be happy to brainstorm with you to figure out if there are angles that can be interesting to share with others. In my experience, we have many untold and important stories. :)
Best, Lily

Hi Lily!
There is a problem with our main prize winner: the mailing address has been removed from Commons and now I can not contact her about winning the prize. Apparently it was activated before, our jury checked. Thought you'd like to know, in case she won a prize internationally as well.
If any one wants to help me look: I'm searching for User:Leslie.Ket https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Leslie.Ket, who uploaded pictures of the island Curacao in September. I cannot find any other website on which she uses this name.
Regards, Ciell

Some people just want the accolade and not a material prize. Others have sudden changes of circumstances that take them off line for a while.
I suggest you leave a note on their talkpage and leave them the option to get in touch if they want to claim their prize.
If the rules don't already cover this situation it is an idea to specify how long you will keep the prize for if it is unclaimed.
Regards
Jonathan

Thanks for the heads-up, Ciell and the notes, Jonathan.
At the international level, not being able to reach out to the user via email is not ideal. For example, we're discussing to get social media permission from all winners at the national levels, and if we can't reach out to them, that's sad. If they win, another level of complexity is added. This is a general remark, of course. :)
