Dear WLE community, we have prepared some exciting news for you!💚
The Wiki Loves Earth 2024 has started and will last from 1st May to 31 July!
Wiki Loves Earth is an annual international photographic competition. Participants take pictures of local natural heritage in their countries and upload them to Wikimedia Commons. For all participating countries, separate competitions are organized by local teams.
🌞How can you join the contest this year as an organizer?
For that, you need the following:
- Team of volunteers with clear roles and timelines;
- Defining eligible natural sites (must be officially protected);
- Preparing a landing page for the local contest;
- Promotion for the contest in social networks;
- Jury to evaluate the photos (select top-15 local winners for an international contest);
- Awards for your winners.
Find out more about the process in our detailed guidelines for the local teams.
🌞How can you join the contest as a participant?

- This year, we also continue to raise awareness about environmental problems, so we launched our special nomination “Human Rights and Environment” for the 4th time.
