Hi all, we're currently extremely busy for preparing the 2012 contest :) I suggest to focus on that and keep discussions like this waiting for a month or two. Not because they're not important, but because they are not time-critical now :) Thanks! Lodewijk 2012/8/31 Tomasz W. Kozłowski > On 3

Hi WSC, there is actually no "international" contest. You only take part in a national contest, or some contests in plural if you happen to have photographed monuments from more than a single country. And if you are lucky enough, your photos will then be nominated by your national jury to the inter

I see the Geograph as a contest in a way that Flickr definitely isn't - many Flickr photos are in private lists aren't they? However if the Guinness Book of records says otherwise, well they are a reliable source and I'm an unreliable one :). As for getting an article on EN wiki, that would depend

Hi, Geograph is not a contest (it is a project, but you can't win something with it afaik), so we don't have to worry about that. The Guinness Book of World Records has a number in the 120k as the largest - we definitely beat that. We had 168k by the way, not 188k. The only contest that I know tha
