Hi all,
with 12 hour to go until the submission deadline (23:59h UTC, 31 October),
we have not yet received & processed submissions from the following
countries:
*Armenia, Bolivia, Canada, Czech Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, France,
India, Jordan, Norway, Russia, Slovakia, South Africa, Switzerland, Syria,
Ukraine, United States*
Please note that this is a HARD deadline. The amount of countries that has
not submitted anything yet is worrying. If images are not submitted before
the deadline, they are most likely *not competing for the international
prizes*.
Please send your 10 nominees (less than 10 is OK, more isn't) per country
to myself and Monica Mora (in cc).
Kind regards,
Lodewijk

Dear all,
Here the current state of the international finale:
At this point, we have received nominees from 19 competitions (20
countries, including Luxembourg). We still are expecting nominations from:
Antarctica, Argentina, Armenia, Austria, Bolivia, Cameroon, Canada, China,
Czech Republic, Egypt, El Salvador, France, Hong Kong, Hungary, India,
Israel, Italy, Jordan, Mexico, Nepal, Norway, Philippines, Romania, Russia,
Slovakia, South Africa, Switzerland, Syria, Tunisia, Ukraine, United States
and Venezuela
If your country is in this list, and you are under the impression that you
already submitted your nominees, please get in touch. We keep a constant
overview of which nominees we processed on
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/Winners -
please do NOT update this status yourself.
Please note there is a *deadline* on 31 October, 23:59 UTC for submitting
your nominees. Each participating country can submit up to 10 nominees. You
can submit them by having one of the jury members or organizers (with a
jury member in cc) to send a list of maximum 10 URL's of the winning
pictures to myself and Monica Mora. You can do this under embargo - we will
only share this with the international jury.
A jury of six jurors has been instructed with the procedures (very similar
to last year), which will result in a jury report and outcomes to be
published in the second week of December. Exact dates will follow when
available, but the time there mostly depends on layout work etc.
Looking forward to many more beautiful nominees,
Lodewijk

Summary: please note the *final deadline* of 31 October. This is a hard
deadline. If you have problems with your jury, please ask the international
team for help as soon as possible.
Dear all,
let me give a quick recap of what the international process looks like:
* National juries (of at least 3 jurors) start now to work, and use October
to come to a decision on the national winners. (countries might use popular
vote)
* The national juries/popular vote must select maximum 10 pictures for the
international finale. This is usually the top-10 of the national
competition, but there can be exceptions (for example, if there are special
categories). This is up to the national jury to decide.
* If the national jury wants to submit less than 10 pictures, that is
possible. They could theoretically also decide that no picture is good
enough for an international finale - in such a case, please submit that
decision explicitely.
* Please try to submit your 10 nominees as soon as possible, ideally before
25 October. Definitely submit them *BEFORE 31 OCTOBER*, this is a hard,
final deadline.
* You can submit the 10 nominees by letting one of the jury members or the
main organizer send an email with the 10 URL's to lodewijk [at]
wikimedia.nland monica.joana11 [at]
gmail.com - please make sure the main contact person in your team is always
in cc, so that we know the email is genuine.
* It is possible to submit your nominees confidentially. We will not
publicly announce the nominees (except for the international jury report of
course - expected begin of December), we expect the national team to do
that. Please link your official announcement on
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/Winners .
On this page we will also create a gallery page with the winning pictures.
* If you already know when you will send the nominees, please add the date
on the overview too. Please also add that on
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013/Winners
.
If you have any problems with setting up a jury process, please contact the
international team (me for example) as soon as possible! We have a few
people in backup that have offered their help to assist as jury member in
another country. There is no shame in asking for this kind of help - it
would be a shame though if something goes wrong! Please note that to avoid
conflicts of interest etc. we ask all countries to make sure that the jury
consists of /at least/ three members.
Looking forward to lots of amazing pictures,
Lodewijk Gelauff
member of the international team
