.
The winners now go on to compete in the international Wiki Loves Monuments
competition against images from 40 other countries we wish them the very
best of luck!
It¹s been an amazing few months seeing Wiki Loves Monuments garner support
and participation from counties right across Ireland, particularly as it is
the first year that the competition has taken place here.
The organisers of Wiki Loves Monuments Ireland would like to extend a
sincere thanks to the judges: Monika Chmierlaz, photoeditor of Blow Photo
Magazine; Ian Doyle, Head of Conservation at The Heritage Council; Kate
Horgan, Award-winning photojournalist and photoeditor; Darius Whelan, Public
Lead for Creative Commons Ireland; and Ken Williams, published photographer
on prehistoric monuments and megalithic art.
We¹d also like to thank our partners, the Department of Arts, Heritage and
the Gaeltacht, the OPW, Open Knowledge Ireland, Dimension Data, The Heritage
Council, National Heritage Week, and the Wikimedia Foundation for their
support in helping us make this competition a success.
We¹ll be sure to keep you updated once the international Wiki Loves
Monuments winners are announced.
Regards,
Sabina Bonnici
