We are happy to announce that the 2019 Picture of the Year competition is now open.
The Commons Picture of the Year is a competition that was first run in 2006. It aims to identify the best freely licensed images from those that during the year have been awarded Featured picture status. This is the fourteenth edition of POTY.
Wikimedia

invited
to
vote for
their
favorite
images
featured
on Commons (FP) during
the
year
2019, to
produce
a single
Picture of
the
Year.
Hundreds
of

international Wikimedia Commons community.
From
professional animal

to
breathtaking
panoramas
and historically

Commons features

all flavors.
For
your

we
have

the

categories.
Two
rounds

will be
held:
In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall will then make it to the final.
In the final round, when a limited number of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want
to become the Picture of the Year.
To vote, you must be an established Wikimedia user with more than 75 edits before January 1, 2020.
