From July 1st to July 31st, 2020: Photograph the Earth!

Wiki Loves Earth is an international photo contest of natural protected areas. All it takes to participate is to find a protected area nearby, photograph it, and submit a photo of it for the competition. You can win a prize and help Wikipedia!

Wiki Loves Earth is an international photographic competition to promote natural sites around the World, through Wikimedia projects (mainly Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons). Everybody can participate. There are a lot of natural areas in all participating countries. The goal of Wiki Loves Earth is to encourage people to take pictures of those sites and to put them under a free licence to allow others to access them through the Internet. To achieve that, an international contest is taking place. This website presents the Canadian part of this competition running in July 2020. Contest The goal of the contest is to put online as many pictures of recognized natural areas of Canada as possible during the month of July 2020 on Wikimedia Commons in order to share them, for free, with the world. All pictures will be donated to Wikimedia Commons under a free licence, so they can be used freely around the world. Wikimedia Commons is an online repository hosting free multimedia content. Wikipedia relies solely on Commons as its media repository. In July, you can upload as many pictures as you want of the recognized natural areas that you have visited. Pictures don't have to be taken in July, but must be uploaded that month to be considered for the contest. Starting in August, the contest's Canadian jury will begin evaluating the photographs to select the 10 best from Canada to be sent to the international jury.
