Help - not on a school’s ground

So I submitted this village hall, which happens to be next to a school, and I explained that it is not part of th school nor on the school’s property. It got rejected nonetheless, for the reason that it is on school’s property, that the photo is of low quality and that it does not meet the criteria... what can I do to prevent this from happening again?
The description is:
Salle communale de la commune de Dolembreux, on y organise mariages, brocantes, rencontres sportives et spectacles culturels.
translated:
Communal hall of the town of Dolembreux, where people organize weddings, flea markets, sporting events and cultural shows.
and the additional information:
La salle communale appartient à la commune de Dolembreux, qui y organise des événements publics ou la loue aux citoyens pour qu’ils y organisent leurs événements privés. Grand parking et accessible à pied en toute sécurité. Elle n’appartient pas à l’école d’à coté et n’est pas située sur son terrain! https://www.sprimont.be/loisirs/associations/location-de-salle http://www.dolembreux.be/vie_pratique
translated:
The communal hall belongs to the municipality of Dolembreux, which organizes public events there or rents it out to citizens to organize their private events. Large car park and accessible on foot in complete safety. It does not belong to the school next door and is not located on its property!
I don’t know how to explain it better, there’s also a fence separating it from the school...
Comments
I suppose the sign reflects light, but try to take a photo where reviewers can actually read the sign.
Personally I'd focus on the communal events. Sport and cultural events first, wedfings and flea markets then. And drop this portion to make text a bit shorter,
or rents it out to citizens to organize their private events. Large car park
but that's just my preference and nitpicking. Your text is fine as it is.
Otherwise not much to do but retry. A link to official town map that shows it's not on school property might help.
Good luck.
I've had the same situation with this one
It’s really annoying, it’s the second time it’s happening to me. The first time was for a sports field, I’d like to resubmit it but I do not have enough submissions left to resubmit everything...
I had a community center rejected once, right next to a school, Huge letters on building "Community Center", this was early OPR days and a historic building got approved right next to it so I never resubmitted.
I also had a footbridge in a clearly marked park directly adjacent to a school rejected for on school grounds but that could've just been an easy selection for them not liking the footbridge.
If you want to resubmit make sure google maps has it labeled as a place and try to change the picture to show the sign clearly and more of the surrounding area for the supporting photo.
Get a better picture of the sign as the main photo. Do not mention the school at all in your supporting info.
You will get new nominations availible exaclty 14 days after you nominated previous nomination - with each submission it's exactly 14 day from they nomination, so if you didn't nominate all on the same day, you will get some back sooner and some later. Just wait until you get them back and you can renominate them :)

Thank you for tour advice! The thing is that the sign is worn-out and is now illegible..
Regarding the fact that it’s not labelled on google maps, can I do anything about it? You actually have to click on it to see that it is a village hall, but it’s not directly visible on the maps, whereas the school is...
When I submitted the sport’s field next to it, I didn’t mentioned the school at all, but it got rejected for the same reason. So I don’t know if it’s better to mention it or not
You can make a photosphere using Google Street View app on your phone - it's pretty easy to do, and would help nominations that can't be seen on Map view.
Does the community centre have a web presence (website, google listing, facebook page?) You can include those in your supporting to help evidence it to reviewers.
It does not have its own website, but is listed on the village’s website, which I included in the description:
