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.

For that you need:
-
Team of volunteers with clear roles and timelines;

Preparing a landing page for the local contest;

Awards for your winners.
