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 of the contest in social networks;
