on Oct 18, 2011

It has been a joyfull work and it is an incredible amount of good pictures that now can be used on Wikipedia. All the pictures that has been uploaded can be found on Wikimedia Commons. We have divided the winners roughly after the number of submissions in each category and therefore decided to have 6 runners up in the category Buildings.
