Commons:Wiki Loves Earth 2017 in Latvia
.svg){kind=logo}
Wiki Loves Earth is a photography contest in which the participants upload images of nature monuments at Wikimedia Commons, so that they can be subsequently used in Wikipedia's articles. The first edition took place in 2013 and was organized by Wikimedia Ukraine. The contest became international in 2014.
Latvia joined this year. The local contest is held between May 1–May 31, 2017. In May, you may upload as many pictures as you want of natural sites that you have visited. Pictures don't have to be taken in May, but must be uploaded during that month to be considered. Provide your photo with {{Wiki Loves Earth 2017|lv}} template. At the end of the month, the contest jury will begin evaluating the photographs and will choose the best 10 pictures of the natural sites in Latvia, and ultimately in the world.
