Hi everyone,
As the national winners of Wiki Loves Monuments 2021 are coming in, the
international team is working on putting together a good jury for this
year's international round. We will need 3-5 more members to complete the
set.
As in the past years, it is important to aim once again for a jury that as
a whole is neutral and balanced in many ways. This means ideally:
1. A mix of photography experts, heritage experts, and Wikimedia experts
(aiming at a total size of 7-9)
2. Geographically balanced so that no two jury members come from the
same country.
3. Balance in many other ways imaginable (while at the same time, one
can never assure a balance in all aspects)
4. The international jury members do not serve on a national jury for
WLM 2021
5. At the same time, there are some practical considerations:
- Jury members must be able to understand English.
6. Able to commit to judging 200-500 photos in three rounds over a
period of 3 weeks in November, as a volunteer.
While jury members can participate in a local competition, their photos
cannot participate in the international finale. It would be helpful if the
juror would be willing to share their real name for the jury report.
Do you know someone who would make a good juror? Please contact me or the
jury coordinator Ndahira Derrick (ndahiroderric(a)gmail.com) with the
suggestions. Please reach out along with the potential juror contact
details, and a couple of lines of why they would make a good juror for WLM.
We are specifically looking for jurors from *Latin America, Africa, and
Asia*, as other regions are well covered already.
Regards,
Krishna Chaitanya
