Hi Lily,<br>
thank you for all the istructions.<br>
<br>
Italy is organising the jury. We have a large amount of pictures, so
we will have a preliminary phase of pre-jury, and than a meeting
with the final jury, made by expert wikipedians and famous
photographers. You will know the 10 winning photos until the term of
25th October.<br>
<br>
I didn't organise this phase in the last edition, so every help with
the tool is welcome (I'm not an expert in programming or complex
wiki-tools, but I can trust in Nemo's support ;-) ).<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Cristian<br>

The local jury set-up is usually defined based on the judging criteria you will choose to go with. The international team recommends that, depending on the number of photos you expect to have by the end of the contest, you have 1-3 Wikimedians (maybe those with quality/featured images on Commons), 1-3 people who are familiar or are experts in the heritage of your country (especially the monuments), and 1-3 people who are professional or (quality) amateur photographers. Of course, all jury members should be excluded from winning prizes awarded by the jury. The national jury can then nominate maximum 10 photos per country for the international finale. </span></p>

Jury members are also asked to give a reason for selecting their top images.
