The international team will be providing more information about Wiki Loves Earth 2020 within the following weeks, but, overall, the structure of the contest has not changed. If you are familiar with the process, you can start adding your country to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2020/Participating_countries.

If you have not organized Wiki Loves Earth in your country before but are looking to organize one, please check our guide for local organizers (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2020/Organise) and/or email us at wle-team@wikimedia.org.ua

An important thing which you should start thinking about now is financing your contest. If your organization does not have an annual budget with Wiki Loves Earth included, you might want to apply for a rapid grant from the Wikimedia Foundation to cover for the expenses of Wiki Loves Earth in your country (up to 2,000 USD).

In 2020, proposals for Wiki Loves Earth are accepted between March 1st and March 15th; it is strongly advised you submit one within this timeframe (though you can and should start planning it earlier).

We will try and provide more detailed instructions about preparing your grant application in February.

If you have any questions or need assistance, we would be glad to help! Please email us at wle-team@wikimedia.org.ua

P.S. We sent out a feedback form to all local organizers of Wiki Loves Earth 2019. If you have not received a letter from us, please contact us so we can resend it :)
