Dear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that 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 are all 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.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of
voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The
top 30 overall and the most popular image in each category will continue to the final. In
the final round, you may vote for just one image to become the Picture of the Year
Round 1 will end on 7 February 2014. To vote, visit
