This year, you’ve helped us:
- Capture the beauty of protected natural areas — over 5 000 participants around the world joined.
- Enrich Wikimedia projects with free and valuable content — 74,000 new images gathered, contributing to the 1 million milestone.
- Celebrate the diversity of our planet’s landscapes and ecosystems — 55 countries and territories took part.
What is next?
We are waiting for local winning submissions — the best photos will enter the international round/
International juries will begin reviewing submissions.
International winners will be announced in November 2025!
BUT you still have a chance to join — 5 countries prolonged their contests till mid-August: Brazil, Burundi, Oman, Senegal, Slovakia.
Thank you for helping us bring nature to the world through open knowledge!
