Dear all,

Greetings from Wiki Loves Monuments India team.

We are glad to announce winners for the 2016 edition. Please find the details here: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2016_in_India/Winners [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 which is now available to utilise them across the movement.  

The WLM India core team which comprised of Abhinav Srivastava, Kiran Ravikumar, Naveen Francis, Sanket Oswal, Santosh Shringare and Yohann Thomas including me, would like to thank the jury members, the volunteers & the participants who made this successful. Not to forget, Wikimedia Foundation for funding, Wikimedia India Chapter for joining hands and WLM International team for the support received throughout.

Regards,

Karthik
