Dear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the second round of the 2013 Picture of the
Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighth edition of the annual Wikimedia
Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on
Wikimedia Commons.
Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during
the last year (2013) to produce a single Picture of the Year. Hundreds of images that have
been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past
year were entered in this competition.
These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and
skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best
architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.
There are two total rounds of voting. In the first round, you voted for as many images as
you liked. The top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category have continued
to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of
the Year.
Round 2 will end on 7 March 2014. Visit

more and vote for your favorite image.
Thanks,User:MonoPicture of the Year Committee
