Hello everyone,

Apologies for the late update. So, WLE has ended, and as predicted we have approximately 4,000 photos from Sri Lanka.

I will initiate the jury process asap (still working on setting up the platform), and will reach back to those of you who had signed-up here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Community_User_Group_Sri_Lanka/Events/WLE2019

Thank you to all the translators, jury-volunteers, graphic designers, and everyone else, for all the support!


Yours truly,

June 30th marked the last day of Wiki Loves Earth 2019.

According to the preliminary statistics, this year's contest has seen:
* 37 countries participating in Wiki Loves Earth (the highest number since the contest was founded);
* more than 85,000 photos uploaded to Wikimedia Commons;
* over 8700 participants.

Thanks a lot to each participant, member of the organizing team, partner, and any person involved for making it happen!

The organizing teams are expected to determine winners for each country's contest throughout July. The international team will post local winners on social media (https://www.facebook.com/interwlehttps://twitter.com/WikiLovesEarthhttp://instagram.com/wikilovesearth) as they are announced. International winners will be announced in September.

Best Regards,
