Wiki Loves Earth in Greece

Wiki Loves Earth is an annual international photo contest of the natural monuments, where participants picture protected areas and upload their photos to Wikimedia Commons.

The goal of the project is, on one hand, to picture under a free license as many natural monuments and protected areas as possible, on the other hand, to contribute to nature protection by raising public awareness. These pictures are to be used to illustrate articles on Wikipedia and other Wikiprojects (WikivoyageWikinewsWikiquote etc.).

The contest is also hosted in Greece since 2016, by the Wikimedia User Group Greece.

To participate:

  1. Register on Commons or login, using your personal account.
