Hello team
The winners of the photo contest will be announced tomorrow. You may already see the (unfinished) draft blog post announcing the winners on meta. A press release should be finalized during the day. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Blog/Drafts/Wiki_Loves_Africa_ photographic_competition_announces_winning_pictures_!
After some brainstorming, Isla and I have decided that the 4th prize (originally "jury prize") would be actually transformed in "community prize". It will be a merge of jury and community selection :)
The idea is to have the community vote on the last prize, on a selection of 20 best images, made by the jury (these exclude the top 3 winners).
Accordingly, we have set up a page on Commons, where people can come and vote

I would like to invite you to cast your vote.
Tomorrow afternoon, an invitation to vote will be send on twitter and facebook. Please help us spread the word and in particular make sure that local members/participants do participate if they want to in selecting that last best image.
