Thank you so much for the post. I find it useful. is that true?
Can I participate from Myanmar(Burma)?
Myanmar is not in the list of the participating countries.
You can definitely participate next year but you might need to organize the event at a country level. Ideally, reach out to some active Wikipedians in Myanmar to set up the event page once the dates are announced, and then you can submit your pictures.
Good luck!
I too am eager to participate in the contest. I hope someone will organize participation from India
Can I participate from India? Can I upload pictures which is taken by Mobile Camera?
As of today, India hasn’t approved its participation yet, please check this page later.
You can upload pictures taken with mobile camera as long as they have at least 2Mpx.

What about usa?
There has never been Wiki Loves Earth contest in the US. It is unlikely it will be organised in 2021 either.
I would like to take part. I am from Nepal
Lets hope that Nepal will be a participating country in 2021 and you will have a chance this year
I would like to participate in 2020 on behalf of Ecuador.
As of today Ecuador is not among the participating countries. Organisers are all volunteers, so it is still possible that there will emerge an organising team in this country, too! Check this page later. If you want to be an organiser or you know someone, who is willing and capable of gathering a local organising team, please refer them to this page: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2020/Organise
What about Cambodia?
As of today Cambodia is not among the participating countries. Organisers are all volunteers, so it is still possible that there will emerge an organising team in this country, too!

I am a Bangladeshi citizen and I have created an account in Common.. Now,how can i uploada photo under the contest ? And i don’thave a wedsite!is this a proble?
Hi, how can we in Seychelles organize our participation?
Hi! You will need to have a team of volunteers (or one very devoted volunteer), preferably with some experience of editing wiki-projects. You can check detailed information at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2019/Organize
I hace been living for some years in Chile … Can I participate with pictures from there, even I have german nationality?
Hi! Sure, you can. Nationality does not matter in Wiki Loves Earth. The contest in Chile will start on June 1st.
Is it possible to upload from Montenegro ?
Hi! Montenegro hasn’t announced its participation this year. You can upload pictures of nature protected areas in other countries if you have some.
I want to participate on behalf of Pakistan.
Hi! We are not sure yet if Pakistan will participate this year, unfortunately.
In Italy the team of volunteers choised only a smart part of the country.
Is it that choise compliant with wiki rules,?
It is not a common thing to do, but if they don’t have volunteer capacity to make a national contest I can understand that. Did you ask Italian organisers about this? http://www.wikilovesearth.it/contatti/
Why don’t have England and America?
In every participating country there is a team of organisers who are responsible for the contest. These teams emerge by themselves; if there are no volunteers in UK or USA to organise this contest there, then there is no contest there.
Hi,
As per the article published on Dawn (Link) top 10 pictures to represent Pakistan are shortlisted can you please confirm that this news is correct? and are these shortlisted images announced on Wikipedia site or can you please share the link of the page where officially result is announced. I am asking is my image is among these 10 images but i have not received any notification or information for the Wikipedia directly. I also sent an email on contact@wikimediapakistan.org but did not received any reply.
Thanks,
M.Awais
