Dear WLE community! Something exciting is coming!🥳

The 11th edition of the Wiki Loves Earth 2023 photo contest is on its way! 

🌳What is it?

Wiki Loves Earth is an annual international photographic competition. Participants take pictures of local natural heritage in their countries and upload them to Wikimedia Commons, a sister project of Wikipedia. For all participating countries there are separate competitions organized by local teams.

For more information follow our page!

⏰When? 

This year WLE will take place between 1st May and 31st July. We have a flexible approach regarding local dates, and local organizers decide when exactly to hold their contest within the international timeframe.

🌍How you can join a contest this year as an organizer?

For that you need:

  • Team of volunteers with clear roles and timelines;
  • Defining eligible natural sites (must be officially protected);
  • Preparing a landing page for the local contest;
  • Promotion for the contest in social networks;
  • Jury to evaluate the photos (select top-15 local winners for an international contest);
  • Awards for your winners.

Find out more about the process in our detailed guidelines for the local teams.

And if you want to upload your photos and become a participant, check out all the details in our rules.
