Dear WLE community, we have an important reminder — organize your local Wiki Loves Earth 2025!
*When?
1st of May — 31st of July. We have a flexible approach regarding local dates, and local organizers decide when exactly to hold their contest within the international timeframe.
How can you join the contest this year as an organizer?
*Gather a team of volunteers with clear roles and timelines.
*Define eligible natural sites in your country (must be officially protected).
*Prepare a landing page for the local contest.
*Put your country in the participants’ list: https://w.wiki/Cwd9
*Create a promotion plan for the contest on social networks.
*Gather a jury team to evaluate the photos (select top-15 local winners for an international contest).
*Award your winners.
Find out more about the process in our detailed guidelines for the local teams — https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2025/Organise
We also continue to raise awareness about environmental problems — follow the special category "Human Rights and Environment", which is held for the 5th time — https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2025/Human_Right...
Document the wide world of protected sites not only with images, but with videos. For the second time, we opened a special category called "Video". Find the details on the page — https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2025/Video_nomin...

Dear Olesia,
Thank you for your email,
I'm glad to read from you about the organization of the Wiki Loves Earth 2025.
I was checking to request a rapid grant to organize local Wiki Loves Earth 2025, unfortunately, I remark it is already late. An actual submission for grant request would be for activities to start not before june 27 2025.
Would you suggest me accordingly?
All the best!
Gilbert Ndihokubwayo. Burundi
