[Wiki Loves Monuments] Slovak WLM

[Osmar Valdebenito]

I want to congratulate the Slovak people and encourage them to work for WLM
2012. Yes, it is late, but with a lot of work you can do something cool.
The thoughest part is the monument list and you have it already. Maybe you
can have a small contest in 15 days, without prices or advertisment and a
jury of 3 or 4 wikipedians to choose the 10 nominees for the international
contest. What is the worst thing that can happen? You'll get a hundred of
photographies that doesn't exist currently on Wikipedia and if there is a
amazing pic from Slovakia, it will have the same opportunity to win the
first prize.

If you need any help -besides translating or speaking Slovak-, just ask me.
Good luck guys! Better later than never!

Osmar Valdebenito G.
