Images that have no monument go directly against the rules of the
competition. So I see nothing wrong in not letting them to compete for the
international prizes.
But for me it's surprising to see some rather small-sized, watermarked and
low quality images among the best. Could it be due to the selection
process? (read: can we fix something there to ensure better quality stuff
ending up in final)

Hi all,
I wonder, in some of the international nominees (beautiful pictures again
btw, congratulations), there are some where there is no identified monument
available. For example, there is a photo of the Nile river
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Nile_River_in_Aswan.jpg> without
any identified monument, and in Brazil a photo of the Army headquarters
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Monumento_a_Duque_de_Caxias.jpg>
without identified monument.
I have my doubts about such photos - while they are of good quality, if
there is no identified monument, I wonder if they should be disqualified
for the international prizes.
I would value your thoughts on this. Maybe it doesn't come up at all (I
don't know how high up they will end), maybe it does.
Best,
Lodewijk
