Dear Wikimedians,

We are happy to announce that the 2018 Picture of the Year

competition is now open. This is the thirteenth edition of POTY.

Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured

on Commons (FP) during the year 2018, to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the
international Wikimedia Commons community. From professional animal and plant

shots to breathtaking panoramas and historically relevant images, Commons

features pictures of all flavors.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two
rounds of voting 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.

Users must vote with an account meeting following requirements: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2018/Rules

 
To see the candidate images just go to the POTY 2018 page on Wikimedia
Commons:  https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2018

Round ends on 17 February 2019, 23:59:59 [UTC].

Thanks,

POTY 2018 committee
