Can someone explain to me why this is being rejected?

why is this chapel constantly rejected? It is on the sidewalk which is publicly accessible, private land is behind a fence. I will add that the local residents do not mind that people sometimes gather on the sidewalk.

below is a geodetic map

blue line - plot boundary (as you can see, the plot boundary runs through the fence) The chapel is on public land (road plot)

The use of the word “Chapel” is odd in this context, it looks like a little roadside shrine but then I found this article - The Layered Meanings of Poland’s Wayside Shrines | Folklife Magazine

It might be good to see a copy of your submission, it you could include an English translation it would help.

From a photographic perspective, if the thing inside the red box is what you are submitting, why does it only take up about 10% of the image?

I looked at the photo first to see if I could tell what you were submitting. I had no clue what the object of this photo is supposed to be.

I’d definitely go for a tighter picture with less of the background visible, that might help with avoiding auto-rejection.

To me it doesn’t look very permanent, it was probably rejected because it looks abandoned, like it was only ever meant to be temporary.

My definition of movable is ‘does it have legs or wheels or wings that look like that they work as intended.’ If yes reject as a non stationary object.

if Not the next harder question is ‘can someone easily detach from the thing it’s placed on?’

Which has more flexibility as this a 6 foot 6 beefy gym guy with a sledge hammer is able to move things a bit easier than a 2 year old in a pram. And in these situations I assume what the average player would be.

The object inside the housing looks temporary and can be removed or replaced at any point. Regardless of how it’s described, composed or submitted, I would struggle to vote favouribly for this nomination.

With the application of a few simple physical principles we can remove almost anything. If I keep destroying all of the books a LFL will become a worthless shelf, or I can work it out of the ground and carry it away.

If a sufficient number of people were to dance rhythmically across the Golden Gate Bridge, it would self-destruct due to standing waves at resonant frequencies.

Fortunately social pressures, rationality, and self-preservation have mostly kept these phenomena in check, so Wayfarers do not need to worry about someone stealing from a reliquary.
