*Look at the calendar* Hmm
Indeed. Uploading of photographs finished at the end of February. It was
decided by the organizers that awarding of prizes would wait until after all
the photographs had been individually assessed by museum staff for copyright
validity etc. Given the quantity of photos this has taken quite a very long
time to finish.
The recent Dutch "Wiki Loves Art" contest had a prize awarding event in the
calendar from the start, which I think is a good idea.
I think next time we should talk to the museums about awarding prizes before
all the images are assessed.
