Jury members
At the end of the month, the national jury will evaluate the photographs and select the best 10 pictures of the homes and habitats in South Sudan to submit to represent in the international finale. The international jury will then announce the international winners in June 2022.
Members of the jury
- Kateregga1
- Moboto Motivated
- Samson
- Judging criteria
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.
