Peccato, nessuna foto italiana (come un po' prevedevamo, del resto).
Certo che è un po' bizzarro, due posizioni a un medesimo fotografo e
5/10 a due paesi. I treni pagano sempre :p ma quest'anno non vincono,
l'anno prossimo però almeno un trenino locale a diesel cerchiamo di
accaparrarcelo. :D
La mia preferita è Tromsø, se vi interessa c'è un festival
cinematografico a gennaio. http://www.tiff.no/en/information

Winners Announced in World’s Largest Photo Contest: Wiki Loves Monuments
*International jury selects top 10 photos from more than 321,000
worldwide. Over the four past years, more than 1.1 million images have
been submitted to the contest.*
The international jury for Wiki Loves Monuments 2014
<http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/>announced today the 10 winning
photographs from the world’s largest photo contest, which ran from
September 1 - 30 this year. More than 9,000 photographers uploaded over
321,000 freely-licensed photographs of historic buildings, monuments and
cultural heritage sites in 41 countries to Wikimedia Commons
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page>for use on Wikipedia and
other free knowledge projects.
This year, the grand-prize winning photograph is an image of theHoly
Mountains Monastery
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Mountains_Lavra>, a complex of
architectural monuments of national significance in Sviatohirsk,
Ukraine, taken byKonstantin Brizhnichenko
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Brizhnichenko>. The first
written mention of the monastery was in 1526. In 1624, the monastery was
officially recognized as the Sviatohirsk Uspensky Monastery. Before
World War I, the monastery was inhabited by approximately 600 monks.
During the 1930s, it was destroyed by the Soviets, along with other
numerous religious sites throughout the Soviet Union. Today, the
monastery community consists of more than 100 people, a number that
increases each year.

The winner will receive flight and accommodations in Mexico to attend
Wikimania, the international conference of the Wikimedia movement, to be
held in July 2015 in Mexico City.
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Wiki Loves Monuments is
the world’s largest public photo competition. In it, people are asked to
take pictures of monuments from participating countries and to upload
them to Wikimedia Commons, enabling the photos to be used to illustrate
Wikipedia in articles about these monuments and other subjects.
“With over one million free images of heritage sites across the world,
Wiki Loves Monuments is one of the world’s most important history
projects today,” says Deror Lin, the international coordinator of the
competition. “Year after year, volunteers document hundreds of thousands
of heritage sites across the world and upload the images to the internet
under a free license for the benefit of the current andnext generations.
These people display the splendor of creativity and culture in their
countries.”
The competition is organized in 41 participating countries, each
focusing on their national monuments and with their own national prizes.
This year, every participating country submitted 10 nominations to the
international jury who chose the winning pictures for the competition. A
number of countries participated in the competition for the first time,
including: Albania, Kosovo, Iraq, Ireland, Lebanon, Macedonia, Pakistan
and the Palestinian Authority.
The contest was first organized in 2010 in the Netherlands and resulted
in more than 12,500 pictures of Dutch monuments. Over the past four
years more than 1.1 million images have been submitted to the contest.
