Please can we not use the word 'monuments' at all in in relation to the special prize? In the UK, the expression 'war memorial' means something specific, and there will be virtually no UK entries of war memorials in that sense, since very few of them are listed buildings (which is what we are covering). In the UK, entries for the special award are likely to be buildings that had some special relevance to the war.
What about 'The WW1 special award', with entries simply having to be of a structure having some special relevance to the Great War?

We already have a hard time explaining native English speakers that the "Monuments" part in WLM is about old buildings and not about Monuments and Memorials, this will create a lot of confusion. What about "War and monuments" as a special theme? That can be reconstructed buildings, cementries, etc Maarten >
