Countries are participating
Wiki Loves Monuments is an international photo contest around cultural heritage monuments in September. Starting from the Netherlands in 2010 and organized on a European level in 2011, we go global in 2012!
Everybody can participate and improve Wikipedia in their local and regional neigbourhood. Cultural heritage is everywhere around you, you just need to look and learn!
In every participating country you can win awards, and the best photos in each country continues to the international jury – which will select the best monument photos in 2012.
There are a few rules for photos to participate in the international contest. Most of these rules are also adopted as rules for participation on a national level. Every submission should be:
Next to that, there are a few practical rules:
If necessary, the rules can be adapted via the international coordinators.
Besides the regular contest, there are may be special categories – with their own award and jury. Besides that, the normal rules apply.
| First Prize | 20,000 INR |
| Second Prize | 15,000 INR |
| Third Prize | 10,000 INR |
| 4th and 5th Prize | 10,000 (5,000 INR each ) |
| 6th to 10th Prize | 15,000 (3,000 INR each) |
| Trophies | 15,000 |
The national juries will nominate photos for the international contest, which has its own jury and awards. The main prize will be a photo trip to Hong Kong, connected to a visit to Wikimania, the annual meeting where Wikimedians from all over the world meet each other, with a maximum value of 2000 euro! Besides that there will be a number of photography-related vouchers, ranging from 400 euro worth (second prize) to 50 euro worth (tenth prize).
The distribution of these awards is determined by the principle that the first prize winner will have the first choice from the prizes, and so on – to ensure that every prize winner gets the prize he or she would like the most. Prizes are not exchangeable for money.
This year, there will be also a special award for the best photo of a gallery, library, archive or a museum building (the GLAM category), awarded and sponsored by Europeana), the European federation of organisations active in the field of European heritage.
