Europeana’s First World War Award for Wiki Loves Monuments 2013

Europeana will award a special prize for the best participating photograph of a monument related to the First World War in this year’s Wiki Loves Monuments competition. Europeana has been an official partner of the contest since 2011, sponsoring each year a special category award. First, it was Art Nouveau (2011) and in 2012 it was GLAM (galleries, libraries, archives and museums) buildings.
 
All valid entries of a monument, building or structure related to the First World War will automatically be considered for inclusion in a future exhibition on Europeana1914-1918.eu – a website dedicated to recording stories from every side of the conflict.
 
Europeana will also reward both an overall competition winner and the First World War category winner with large-scale aluminium prints of their photographs.
 
Europeana enables everyone to explore the digital resources of Europe’s museums, libraries, archives and audio-visual collections. It promotes discovery in a multilingual space where users can engage, share in and be inspired by the rich diversity of Europe’s cultural and scientific heritage.
 
Good luck to everyone!

    They should add the category “WWI_related_images_from_Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013” to their images. Hope that helps!
