Hi André,

In my view the easiest solution would be to add a tick box in the
upload campaign for whether the image is part of this sub-competition
or not. It would however also require that the placement of the
wikitext on the image page could be controlled so that this
template/category is not put in the description field.
Imho this goes against our philosophy[1]: We stripped the upload form to
contain as few options as possible, this would add more clutter.

Previous years we just went through the images and added the special
category. We found plenty of images.

It's good to provide a streamlined process with as few options as possible, but don't try to give less than we should!

- I think we should provide the users the option to participate into the Europeana award. They are the ones in the best position to assert that their photo is indeed somehow related to the topic, and their lack of participation in the subcontest shouldn't depend on a noticing that it could participate (we would still remove and add when ovbious, as usual).

- The baseline participantes are using the UploadWizard. A new checkbox does add an option but is a one-line step.

- Requesting an addition on wikitext would be unfriendly.

- Another UI would add more complexity than what is added by that checkbox.


Thus, IMHO we should go the UW checkbox path.
