Hi Lily,
thank you for all the istructions.
Italy is organising the jury. We have a large amount of pictures, so we
will have a preliminary phase of pre-jury, and than a meeting with the
final jury, made by expert wikipedians and famous photographers. You
will know the 10 winning photos until the term of 25th October.
I didn't organise this phase in the last edition, so every help with the
tool is welcome (I'm not an expert in programming or complex wiki-tools,
but I can trust in Nemo's support ;-) ).
Best regards,
Cristian

Hi all,
If you are a WLM organizer, jury coordinator in the national
level, or a jury member, this email can contain crucial
information for you. Everyone else, you can safely stop here. :)
This email contains some best practices on how to run your local
jury process with regards to criteria, jury membership and
process. Finally, it includes some instructions on how to choose
your jury tool.
Timeline
You should plan to start the jury process as soon as the
competition ends in your country, this is October 1 for many of
you. :) The international team expects to receive the top 10
photos of your country no later than October 25.
Judging criteria
While every national competition can choose the judging criteria
based on the specific needs of the country, the international team
recommends the following three judging criteria to be considered
in the country-level jury processes: technical quality,
originality, and usefulness of the photo for Wikipedia. If you are
interested to learn more about these criteria, please read more
about the judging criteria
<http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/judging-criteria/>that the
international jury will be using as explained in this blogpost by
Lodewijk.
Local jury set-up
National competitions typically have a jury with at least 3
members (the more photos, the more jury members). The local jury
set-up is usually defined based on the judging criteria you will
choose to go with. The international team recommends that,
depending on the number of photos you expect to have by the end of
the contest, you have 1-3 Wikimedians (maybe those with
quality/featured images on Commons), 1-3 people who are familiar
or are experts in the heritage of your country (especially the
monuments), and 1-3 people who are professional or (quality)
amateur photographers. Of course, all jury members should be
excluded from winning prizes awarded by the jury. The national
jury can then nominate maximum 10 photos per country for the
international finale.
Jury process
The jury process on the national level is defined by each country.
The international team recommends the following process:
Round 1: Yes/No or rating
The goal of this round is to lower the number of competing photos
to 400-700. If your total number of pictures is less than 500, you
can skip this round.
Jury members are asked to vote yes/no for each photo they are
shown and are requested to stick to a maximum number of ‘yes’
votes (for example, 500). Based on these votes, a set of 400-700
photos is selected for the next round. If you have many photos,
you may have to do this round in two steps.
Round 2: Rating
The goal of this round is to come to a selection of the top-50
images. Jury members are asked to rate/score each image with 1-5
stars. Based on the average from their votes, the top-50 is
selected for the next round. If there are many pictures with
similar scores, the coordinator can choose to select a top-40,
top-60, etc.
Round 3: Live meeting or ranking
The goal of this round is to arrive at a final ranking and winning
pictures. If geographically feasible, the jury can meet in person.
The jury tool supports an alternative method: ranking. Each jury
member is asked to rank their favorite 20 photos in order. Based
on this ranking, points are awarded to each photo (20 for the
number 1, 19 for number 2, etc). The total number of points
determines the final result. Jury members are also asked to give a
reason for selecting their top images. You can use this latter
information to explain explain why the winner was selected, an
information that can be useful for your jury report and press
releases.
Jury tool
Unless you have a very small number of submissions (less than
100), it's usually efficient for your jury to use one of the
available tools
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Jury_tools>for judging
the photos. The international team would like to bring your
attention to two tools: ‘Montage’ and ‘WLX’. Below you can find
more information about these two tools. We suggest that you look
into these tools now, and make your choice soon.
Montage
Montage is the new tool that has been developed this year by
volunteers and per the request by the WLM international team.
There are two features of the tool that are worth pointing out:
The tool is designed and developed in a way that can accommodate
the recommended jury process explained above (yes/no, rating,
ranking features are supported). The developer team will also
guarantee to provide timely support (within 24 hours) starting
October 1.
If you're a national jury coordinator or a jury member and want to
test the current version of the tool, please leave a note on the
tool’s discussion page
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:Montage>. If you
want to have a 1:1 conversation with one of the developers, please
leave a message using the same link. You should feel free to leave
questions/comments about the tool in the same page. If you are
familiar with GitHub, you can also create issues on GitHub
<https://github.com/hatnote/montage/issues>. Please note that the
developers will continue adding features and smoothing the
workflow until October 1, what you will test now will give you a
sense of the basics you should expect. :)
What is essential for you to be able to start the jury process on
October 1 using Montage is the Wikimedia usernames of your jury
members (if they don't have an account, please ask them to open
one). If you decide to go with Montage, please gather this
information sooner rather than later.
WLX
You can learn more about the tool here
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:WLX_Jury_Tool>. The
tool has been used by many countries as part of WLM and WLE
contests in the past years. If you're interested to use WLX,
please contact Ilya (WLX's tool developer) in the tool's talk page
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons_talk:WLX_Jury_Tool>.
If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to
ask them here or off-list.
Best,
Leila
