HI Asaf, in Catalan Areas we've been doing WLM for several years and we already have great photo coverage, so we are discussing if this year's editions should be focused on writing related Wikipedia articles ifor each monument instead of promoting taking pics. Nothing has been decided yet, but is probably that we promote the writing activity with some kind of goodies awards
