contest is on its way!

????What is it?

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, a sister project of Wikipedia. For all
participating countries there are separate competitions organized by local
teams.

?When?

This year WLE will take place between 1st May and 31st July. We have a
flexible approach regarding local dates, and local organizers decide when
exactly to hold their contest within the international timeframe.

????How you can join a contest this year as an organizer?

For that you need:


-

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.
