Members of the jury
The jury will determine the winners of the international contest taking into consideration the following criteria (in no particular order):
Technical quality (sharpness, use of light, perspective etc.);
Originality;
Usefulness of the image for Wikipedia.
Images that reach a top ranking of the international finale, will typically at least fulfill the technical criteria of the ‘Featured Image’ process at Wikimedia Commons. But feel free to submit many images, and let the jury be concerned if they are good enough.
