Dear Wikimedians,
We are pleased to announce the Wiki Loves Earth international photo contest
starting in less than a week! Our aims are to raise public awareness about
protected areas and to create the biggest database of free photos of nature
heritage sites from all over the world.
*This is the 10th edition of the competition. In 2013 we held WLE in
Ukraine for the first time, and in 2014 it went international. Overall, WLE
collected 767k free photos, with around 180k being used in the wikiprojects
— and we are going to make even more impact organizing Wiki Loves Earth
2022! The contest runs throughout May 1 – July 31, with different dates for
each country.*
