Ten copies of the photo were printed out and stuck on to boards. As of the end of yesterday 3 had been found among the stuff that made it back to WIkimedia UK (although not all the boxes have been opened yet) suggesting that the monkey selfie may appear in other locations yet. The photos were printed out by Wikimania staff/volunteers, but who had the idea to do so I don't know.
