Hello Asaf, Thanks for getting the zip file of all the files for me. It was really smaller than I expected.
I have gone through the 800+ images and I have selected just a little over 100 images as candidate images to present to the jury.[1] I wish to hereby add a *disclaimer *(I've cc'ed wikimedia-gh list as well): *The list of selected images I present contains about 10 of images I took and uploaded. I included them, not because I took them, but because I think they are not bad images and as such are worth to be considered candidate images to present. The jury are free to exclude or include them upon reviewing the images.[2]* The compressed folder of images also contain a .txt file with links to the selected images original files on Commons. As it stands now, the selected images are ready. I hope we can get a jury to take it from here? And whats more, the list I present is just something *I* feel are good. The jury are free to also go through the 800+ images in case they wish to widen their taste. :p I think in general, images that came from Ghana aren't that deviating from this year's competition theme.
