Dear all,

Can you please publicise the Wiki Loves Monuments competition among your contacts. (Declaration of Involvement: I am one of the judges.)

Wiki Loves Monuments is an international photo contest, organised by Wikimedia, the movement behind Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia – a global collaboration authored by volunteers. This year, the Wikimedia Ireland Community are running the competition for the very first time in Ireland. The contest is inspired by the successful 2010 pilot in the Netherlands which resulted in 12,500 freely licensed images uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. It has grown substantially since its inception; in 2013 369,589 photographs were submitted by 11,943 participants from over 50 countries. Cultural heritage is an important part of the knowledge that Wikipedia collects and disseminates. An image is worth a thousand words, in any language and local enthusiasts can (re)discover the cultural, historical, or scientific significance of their neighbourhood. The Irish contest, focussing on Ireland’s national monuments, runs from August 23-September 30. Follow our step-by-step guide to find out how you can take part.
