Getting the data in place and on Wikidata was a massive job, but all of that is still in place. If we don't update the dataset, or declare The Community (TM) to be in charge of updating the data on Wikidata, we can still use the tools from 2014.
"Official" tool: https://tools.wmflabs.org/wlmuk/ (that one has upload links for the campaign)
Experimental Wikidata-based tool: https://tools.wmflabs.org/wlmuk/index_wd.html

There will be no UK contest as far as I know. I've stepped down as volunteer WLM organiser this year and no-one else has expressed an interest in taking over. My own view is that with the fairly comprehensive listed building coverage we already have in the UK, we would do better now to concentrate not on raw numbers but on improving photographic quality and on filling in specific gaps. WLM is an excellent project but in the UK at least tends to attract large numbers of images of the same major landmarks (often in London) and is not an ideal way to source high-quality images of lesser-known and regional monuments.
I've had some initial discussions about a possible new approach whereby images are requested by Wikipedia editors and are fulfilled by a panel of volunteer photographers across the country. Still early stages in planning, and a lot of work will be needed to get sufficient high quality photographers, probably reaching out to photographic society members rather than restricting the talent pool to Wikimedians.
