Hi all!

Today starts a new photo contest organized by Wikimedia Spain and focused on festivals declared of touristic interest in Spain: Wiki Loves Folk. The contest aims to collect images freely licensed to illustrate content on these festivals in Wikipedia and enhance the online presence of Spanish folklore. Along with its monumental and environmental richness, Spain has a rich and varied folklore: carnivals, food festivals, religious celebrations as Easter or Corpus Christi, cultural and sporting events or popular festivals, among others.

It is about sharing original photographs, taken recently or in the past, between April 1 and 30, 2016 or, in a second period, between November 15 and December 15, 2016. The subject of the contest is all those festivals declared of touristic interest by the various administrations: international, national, regional, provincial and local levels. The complete list, with additional information and a map for each region is available at [http://wikilov.es/folk wikilov.es/folk], the competition website. To participate, simply have an user account on Wikimedia Commons and upload the pictures by following the steps on the web.

Best,
