Wiki Loves Monuments
On December, 9th, Wikimedia Ukraine held Wiki Loves Monuments awards ceremony in Zabolotnoho State Scientific Architecture and Construction Library (Kyiv). Diplomas, prizes, and souvenirs were handed to contests winners able to come and not only for photographers of top 10 photos but in nominations that are traditionally awarded by WMUA: top 10 users by the number of pictured monuments, best photos of each administrative region, top users by the number of monuments pictured in each region. The list included about 30 names.
The place was chosen not by chance: the participants of the contest had an opportunity to see the 25 volumes bibliographic index about towns of Ukraine illustrated by image submitted to the contest in previous years. There was a discussion about the future of the project in Ukraine after the event, the organising committee, participants, and jury members have discussed a few ways to change the rules of the local contest.
The ceremony was held alongside the exhibition of winning photos.
