Welcome to the Wikimedia Commons portal for Wiki Loves Monuments!
Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM) is a public photo competition around cultural heritage monuments, organized by Wikimedia chapters and groups. In 2010 it was organised in the Netherlands, and was followed by a Europe-wide 2011 edition. Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 went global and was organised in several countries around the world, including Canada, Chile, India, Panama, Ghana, the Philippines, Russia, South Africa and the United States.
In 2017, Wiki Loves Monuments is organised in the following countries.
Why is my country not participating in Wiki Loves Monuments 2017?
Wiki Loves Monuments is organized in a federative manner, which means the organization depends on volunteers in each country. Enthusiastic local teams get in contact with heritage organizations and authorities, create monuments lists in Wikipedia, contact partners and sponsors, and motivate the general public to participate. If your country did not participate last year, maybe you are interested to help make it happen next year? Read this page about how to organise a local contest, start your preparations (including creation of lists of monuments if not existing yet) and add your country/area at Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2017/Participating countries.
