If there is any heritage institution in the jury he can recognize those valued photos knowing the monuments in place. But at European level this will be difficult. If the heritage institution is interested perhaps it could be a special prize for the most wanted monuments. E.g. photos missing in the local heritage website could be an incentive for their sponsonship.

Maybe that should be in the criteria ?

The jury criteria are here indeed more relevant. By the way, I tried to summarize it all a bit on http://www.visuelya.de/wlmeu/contest/ and http://www.visuelya.de/wlmeu/jury/ . Best,Lodewijk 2011/7/20 Vicenç Riullop <[email protected]> Four? I count five :-) 1. own work 2. free license 3. september 4. id 5. email confirmed This can be explained in detail as recomandations, not rules: usefull to Wikipedia, high resolution, digital editing only if necessary, avoid people, specially not identifiable people without consent, general views as well as closer ones, no watermarks, no frames, not only good monuments but good shots, etc. In general, anything accepted on Commons should be acceptable for WLM, but some recomandations about the judging criteria may help.

Yes, we could do that. However, I would like it really a lot if we keep everything as simple as possible. Right now we have four simple rules - that means that adding one more rule is 25% more rules - is that worth it? Of course it speaks for itself that the jury will consider watermarked images as significantly worse quality. But why would we want to forbid people to upload them? Commons accepts them too, although they do reserve the right to remove the watermarks. Lodewijk 2011/7/20 Elisardo <[email protected]> Hi. Last day I noticed that we could add some rules to the contest, there are a content rules to apply to images on wikis that we can add to our rules. That rules say that free images should not be watermarked, distorted or have any credits in the image itself. We could add to this rules that the images should not have a frame, all this will make that uploaded images could be used directly in wiki articles and make them more "standarized". What do you say?.
