well done everyone! I see the UK ended up the 5th-biggest country in terms of the number of contributors, and 8th in terms of total photos uploaded. Not bad for a first attempt!
Many thanks to everyone who took photos, and even more thanks to everyone who helped organise it!
Regards,
Chris

Hi all,
Just a reminder to anyone with photographs of (Grade I / Grade II* / Category A / Grade A / Grade B+) listed buildings hanging around on your hard drives, now is the time to upload them.
The easiest way to do this is to find each building's listing on Wikipedia (e.g. [1]), and follow the upload link there.
Even if you took the photographs ages ago, they will still qualify for Wiki Loves Monuments, the world's largest photography competition -- assuming you upload them before midnight.
Why participate in Wiki Loves Monuments rather than upload them, say, next week? * Your photographs can win prizes * You'll be helping make this year's WLM the largest ever (14,000 more uploads needed!) [2] * You'll help the UK overtake India into 8th place in the country rankings ) 600 uploads needed!) [3]
For more general information on WLM, see http://wikilovesmonuments.org/ .
All the best, Harry
