I agree with Yaroslav that the offical recognition status of monuments shouldn't raise problems on the lists.
I'm an advocate for local organizers define 1) what are their local concepts of "monuments" and 2) what are the monuments on their lists. Once this is done, the whole process comes down to (or should've come down to) the judgment of the technical criteria fo the images submitted. The "monument" concept have different meanings in different cultures, as there are many reasons why "official recognition" status are not always present. In my opinion, this requirement would only act as a barrier for local heritage representation in the competition.

Hi Michelle, I am sure there were situations before when unofficial lists were used. I have been involved in the organization of WLM in Russia for many years, there are some official lists but there is no single complete list, so we had to compile our own database using a lot of sources. The database is incomplete and certainly unofficial but we still have been using it for years. As soon as there is a list which is closed and the participation rules are clear, I do not see any significant problems. (Having said this, I am not on the international jury, and at the end they decide what is accepted as international submissions. The St. Eustachius jury can decide anything concerning the competition at the country level).

Due to the special status the island has within the Kingdom of the Netherlands and the lack of adequate laws for built heritage, there isn't an official published list of monuments that participants could use. There is an unofficial and unpublished list. Is there a workaround for these kinds of situations? Thank you so much for your help!
