The Wiki Science Competition 2025 is starting soon. This is your chance to be part of a global movement sharing science through images and media on Wikimedia Commons. Students, teachers, researchers, and science enthusiasts from around the world will contribute and India is now joining the race.
From 1 to 15 December 2025, participants can upload scientific photographs, research visuals, field studies, experiments, or any media that captures the beauty and diversity of science. Every image contributes to building a global open educational resource while showcasing Indian innovation, creativity, and scientific curiosity on the world stage.
A Global Movement
The Wiki Science Competition began in Estonia in 2011, inspired by the idea of bringing science closer to everyone through visual media. Since then, it has grown into one of the largest international science photo competitions, organized across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
Previous years have seen Indian contributors among the international winners, highlighting the country’s growing presence in open science and Wikimedia’s educational outreach.
This year, India steps in with renewed energy connecting universities, students, and educators to the global science community through Wikimedia Commons.
Empowering Science Contributors
With over 18 Campus Ambassadors across the country, the Indian campaign is connecting classrooms, labs, and local communities. Ambassadors are guiding participants, supporting teachers and students, and ensuring that every contribution big or small is well-documented and freely shared with the world.
Participants can join individually or represent their institute, making it a national celebration of science and learning.
