Commons:Wiki Loves Classics 2020
Wiki Loves Classics 2020, the second edition of Wiki Loves Classics, is a photo contest whose purpose is to increase the amount of freely-licensed material related to ancient Greek and Roman monuments (and other ancient civilizations especially from the Mediterranean area) on Wikimedia Commons. It also aims to improve the quality and quantity of Wikidata items and Wikipedia articles about them, including the illustration of the items/articles related to the uploaded pictures.

Here is a list of countries which certainly have items related to classical antiquity (it also include previous civilizations). Please scroll the lists in order to know the pictures of monuments that you can upload. The presence in the lists depends on the legal situation in different countries, and some countries might not take part this year and we are not encouraging an upload without a national organizer.
