Dear WLE community! Something exciting is coming!🥳
The 11th edition of the Wiki Loves Earth 2023 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2023 photo contest is on its way!
🌳What is it?
Wiki Loves Earth is an annual international photographic competition. Participants take pictures of local natural heritage in their countries and upload them to Wikimedia Commons, a sister project of Wikipedia. For all participating countries there are separate competitions organized by local teams.
