I have a couple of questions about the GLAM prize:

1. Does it only take into account *buildings*? Or should I recommend the
participants to also photograph the inside (including contained material)
of the g/l/a/m's?
2. This may be obvious, but, Must the g/l/a/m's be monuments to
participate? Or should I recommend the participants to photograp every
g/l/a/m they can?

Thanks,
Racso
