[Winners haven’t been informed so far; expecting to be completed soon.
Winner for maximum uploader is yet to be announced (in process of selecting
a winner based on the defined criteria)].
We hope to complete the entire process by November end and submit report to
the community and to the foundation.
To summarise, we received 37,000+ images images in this edition from 1784
participants. 1500+ participants contributed to the movement for the first
time during the contest. From the 37,000+ images we received, 1300 images
are already been used in Wikipedia and it sister projects.
For us; we mean the community, the contest doesn’t ends here, there are
plenty of unused ASI monument images
