Just a quick watching of the available pictures promoted to the international phase and some questions, comments, remarks...
- Pictures with no monument at all: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nile_River_in_Aswan.jpg - Pictures with watermarks: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Baldunngan.jpg - Pictures with unknown monument status: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:U995Steuerbordbug.JPG - Pictures from furniture patrimony (that's not usually known as a monument; if furniture patrimony is allowed, just let all the organizing chapters know: a large amount of pictures would be generated) - Countries promoting more than ten images (can the rest of us promote more than ten? we've just trying to tie break between the tenth and the eleventh picture and wonder if we can just sent eleven) Although I assume that each national contest can follow the rules the organizers wish, shouldn't there be a common criterium to access the international phase?
