About
[edit]The Wiki Science Competition (WSC) is an international photo competition for sciences, organized by Wikimedians in Thailand aiming to promote and engage people with science in Thailand and beyond. It will take place between 15 November – 15 December 2021. This competition was first organized in Estonia. In 2015, the contest was expanded to all of Europe. European Science Photo Competition resulted in almost 10,000 freely licensed images attracting over 2,200 contesters. This year is the first time it will be organized globally.
This competition was brought to Wikipedia because Wikipedia is an active platform dedicated to collecting and sharing educational content freely to everyone. Being open access, and 7th most accessed website in the world are just some of the features of Wikipedia that make it an excellent platform for science and science photos in particular. Science photo competition is a motivational framework for catalyzing the formation of sustainable relationship between the scientists and Wikimedia community.
Wiki Science Competition consists of two levels: there is a local competition in each participating country and the local organizing team will forward chosen pictures to the international competition.

Siamosaurus suteethorni gazing off into the sunset. Siamosaurus is a genus of spinosaurid dinosaur from Thailand, known only from tooth fossils. It is the first spinosaurid reported in Asia and the name honors Thai palaeontologist Varavudh Suteethorn. The reconstruction is based on the closely related Ichthyovenator laosensis and a sail fossil from Khok Kruat Formation that could possibly be from Siamosaurus.
