Wiki Loves Monuments is an international photographic competition to promote historic sites around the World through Wikimedia projects (mainly Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons).
Wiki Loves Monuments is an international photographic competition to promote historic sites around the World through Wikimedia projects (mainly Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons). Everybody can participate. By submitting your photos to the competition, you share and help preserve the cultural heritage of Egypt for all Egypians and the rest of the world, to enjoy through the internet.
During the competition period, you may upload as many pictures as you want of cultural sites that you have visited. Pictures don't have to be taken during the month, but must be uploaded during that month to be considered. Provide your photo with {{Wiki Loves Monuments 2024|eg}} template. At the end of the month, the contest jury will begin evaluating the photographs and will choose the best 10 pictures of the monuments in Egypt, and ultimately in the world.

Judging criteria
The jury will determine the winners of the international contest taking into consideration the following criteria (in no particular order):
- Technical quality (sharpness, use of light, perspective, etc.);
- Originality;
- Usefulness of the image for Wikipedia.
Images that reach a top ranking of the international finale, will typically at least fulfill the technical criteria of the ‘Featured Image’ process at Wikimedia Commons. But feel free to submit many images, and let the jury be concerned if they are good enough.
