Yes, Konark. But I do not want to point figures to one event. In my view
all events are culprits.
Imagine the problem of processing 15K images of the Tamil contest - I
shudder to think!
Suggestion : No image should be considered eligible for competition till it
is uploaded with :
* proper description.
* suggested/recommended article for image use or for creation.
* proper categorisation in Commons.
Have volunteers available to help photographers. The photothon should end
in an uploading function where volunteers help in these aspects.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur

The question just got asked when I was about to ask
it.
The problem is that the organisers end their activities with the upload of
hundreds of images. The cleanup is expected to be done by un-named, unknown
others. The encyclopedic value of the images that the people took in the
photothon never get realised.
The organisers of any photothon must realise that the photothon should end
only after the Juice is squeezed out of each image. Better to have 50 good
images, catalogued and embellishing articles than thousands "[[waiting for
Godot]]".
Take a look at

talking about something like this, right Ashwin?
