Dear all,
The submission period of the 8th edition of Wiki Loves Earth *— *the
biggest international photo contest devoted to nature heritage *— *has
finished!
We are excited about the results: we have got 106 240 photos of nature
monuments from 34 countries all over the world, and 23% of these pictures
are used in wiki projects. Despite the world health situation, it's the 3rd
biggest number of submissions in WLE history. We are thankful to everyone
for digging through your photo archives and making impact online! Your
pictures help to raise public awareness about protected areas and create
the biggest database of free photos of them.
What's next?
Local teams will announce their winners until the end of August, and then
we start evaluating photos for the international round. In October-November
you will discover who are the winners of WLE 2020.
Do you have any exciting WLE story to share?
Please reach out to us at wle-team(a)wikimedia.org.ua and let's spread the
word about the contest together!
