Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2024 in Morocco
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 Morocco for all Moroccans 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|ma}} 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 Morocco, and ultimately in the world.
