Dear all,
Jury members who grade images of protected sites from all over the world and help us to choose winners are crucial for organising Wiki Loves Earth.
We are now looking for jury for both the international round and local ones. Candidates should have a background in nature photography, environment, ecology etc. *and/or* be experienced Wikimedians. Please consider applying yourself or spread the word among your friends who might be interested.
*== Local jury ==* Different local teams might need help with evaluating their submissions, and we are looking to create a network of people willing to put some time in helping evaluate photos from different countries.
Evaluation itself will happen in June-August, dependent on the country. There are no strict rules, just fill out the form (see the link below) so we can recommend you to one or several local teams, dependent on your availability. The international team does not run evaluation of local contests, we are just trying to connect people willing to help with local teams.
*== International jury ==* International jury is the team which evaluates the pool of local winners and determines top photos of the international contest.
The evaluation will take place in September-October this year.
*Important:* international jury members should not come from or reside in countries which participate in this year’s contest or be part of organizing or local jury teams. You can check the list of participating countries *here https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2020/Participating_countries* .
*== How to apply ==* Please, fill out this short form, and we will contact you — https://forms.gle/K6UCfUSrCDT86wFF8.
Again, please help spread this message even you cannot apply personally!
If you have any questions or have ideas whom the international team can contact, reach out to us at wle-team@wikimedia.org.ua.
Best regards, Anastasiia Petrova Project Manager for International Wiki Loves Earth 2020 on behalf of the international organizing team
