In Estonian Wikipedia we have a copyright exemption (http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Resolution:Licensing_policy) for photos of buildings, statues etc., whose authors have not died recently (70 years after death hasen't passed yet). These photos are tagged with http://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mall:KunstiteoseFoto.
And these photos can't be uploaded to Commons, because of no Freedom of Panorama in Estonian Copyright Law: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:FOP#Estonia.
So some photos of monuments will be ok for Estonian Wikipedia, but not ok for Wikimedia Commons.

Hi Raul, an imporant aspect of the image competition is that the images have to be able to be used on the local Wikipedia - therefore it is important that they are allowed under local law (we dont want people to do something illegal). To keep it simple, we should try to do all uploading on Wikimedia Commons (this allows shared tools, simplified messaging and participation by tourists when they get home and dont speak estonian) - and therefore all images should *also* be allowed under Commons policies. I hope that is clear :) If you have a specific situation in mind, I would welcome you to share it. With kind regards, Lodewijk 2011/4/19 Raul Kern raunator@gmail.com
Hi,
did I understand correctly, that pictures taking part from national WLM competition have to follow the copyright rules on local Wikipedia.
And from European competition can take part only pictures that are free enough for Wikimedia Commons.
