Hi, I think that non-monuments should not be eligible for winning the contest. It is unfortunate, but such images should be disqualified. >From our (Ukraine) experience I can share a story from last year: we have >found a 1900 church in a small village, its photo was in top-10 but we had to >disqualify it as it was not a monument (blog post: >http://wikilovesmonuments.org.ua/mykolaiv-oblast/ , the photo in question is >in the bottom). We have contacted all possible authorities and they all >confirmed that this church is not a monument, but the application for monument >status is in draft stage since 1992. Result: this year the church was added to >the official register of monuments following our request (blog post : >http://wikilovesmonuments.org.ua/usi-v-berezanskyi-raion/ ) To sum up: * if it is not a monument and it should not be a monument, this photo should not take part in WLM * if it is not a monument and you think it should be a monument, try to ask your government to add it to the lists, sometimes it works * in any case, this photo should not be in top-10. Best regards, Mykola Kozlenko (NickK) WLM Ukraine

For example, there is a photo of the Nile river without any identified monument, and in Brazil a photo of the Army headquarters without identified monument. I have my doubts about such photos - while they are of good quality, if there is no identified monument, I wonder if they should be disqualified for the international prizes. I would value your thoughts on this. Maybe it doesn't come up at all (I don't know how high up they will end), maybe it does.
