Criteria

The participants must produce photographs released with free CC BY SA 4.0 license taken by themselves and not images resulting from or partially altered by artificial intelligence that won't even be taken into consideration for the contest.

The judging panel will judge individual entries based on the following criteria (in no particular order):
  • Technical quality: image sharpness and resolution, light, undistorted perspective, realistic view, etc. The evaluation criterion has a weight of 30% on the total score..
  • Originality: original point of view, personal interpretation, narrative and aesthetic ability. The evaluation criterion has a weight of 30% on the total score.
  • Potential usefulness and overall value of the image (including its license) for Wikimedia projects (weight of 40% of the total points). One of the main objectives of this contest is to collect good photographs representing national customs and traditions for use in Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. To what extent does the image meet the documentary need and how useful can it be in an encyclopedic context? The evaluation criterion has a weight of 40% on the total score.

Out and about

  • Please be respectful and considerate to your fellow photographers, and to others.
  • If you are photographing building interiors, stop straight away if you are asked to do so. Some places prohibit interior photography, but in others you may be allowed to continue if you ask for permission.
  • Do not trespass on private property (it is perfectly OK, though, to take photographs while standing in a public place such as the street).
  • Where possible avoid photographing vehicles, and particularly vehicle numberplates.
  • Please do not upload photographs of posters, notice boards, signs, or anything else having text or two-dimensional images that might be copyright-protected. That applies even to text or images that are in a public place and that everyone else is taking pictures of. Ancient wall paintings in churches are fine, as are photos of stained glass windows of any date.
