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.
