Wiki Loves Earth International photo contest has been active for 13 years, each year highlighting the diversity of our planet. But this year is special for us, as we have reached a monumental milestone!
Over 1,000,000 images have now been contributed to Wiki Loves Earth International over its history from 98 countries/territories by more than 80,000 participants!
From breathtaking landscapes to charming macro shots, from the hidden corners of our planet to urgent environmental issues and stunning videos — a powerful testament to the global love for nature and free knowledge.
- The most fruitful year in terms of uploads over the contest's history was 2017, with almost 130,000 submitted images! - In 2016, we received more than 109,000 submissions. - And 2020 was a year with over 105,000 images uploaded worldwide. - From year to year, Germany and Ukraine are the ones bringing the highest numbers of uploads. But the contribution of each participating country has built today’s milestone!
A huge thank you to every participant, volunteer, and organizer who contributed to capturing the planet’s diversity and sharing it with the world. Let’s keep growing a global bank of freely-licensed images of our nature worldwide!
