Hi!

I wrote a short press release (about both local and global results) and
biggest news site in Latvia published it with pictures:

 Hi all,

 It's been an incredible 4 months. On behalf of Wiki Loves Monuments
 international team I'd like to thank /all/ of you who made this year's
 contest possible. We have achieved a lot together.

 In this email, we're sharing with you the result of the contest. There
 are 15 winners in this year's contest chosen among 392 photos that made it
 to the international contest. The international jury carefully reviewed
 these photos and chose the top 15 among them.

 Like any other contest, there are photos and countries that have made
 it to the top 15 and those who haven't. It's important for us to remember
 that our work towards free knowledge for everyone is beyond the
 geographical borders and contests. The contest is a means to an end. This
 is a day that we all should celebrate for empowering more people to share
 in the sum of all human knowledge, for helping them bring amazing photos to
 Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons, Wikivoyage, Wikidata, and our other projects,
 and for helping them discover their heritage.

 All key metrics showed significant growth compared to last year: the
 number of participating countries (more than 30% increase), the number of
 participants (62% increase), the number of first time contributors to
 Wikimedia projects (78% increase), and the number of photos uploaded (20%
 increase). This year we also welcomed four first time participating
 countries from very different parts of the world: Bangladesh, Greece, Peru,
 and South Korea. I want to emphasize this: /you/ made all of this happen! 
 :)

 Now, please sit back and enjoy the result of your efforts:

It is, indeed. Congratulations! :)

Definitely read the snippets of the stories of the participants in the blog
posts. They were gracious and shared their stories with us for the blog
posts. We are planning to share these stories in more depth in the coming
months.
