Dear Wikimedians,

The 2021 Picture of the Year competition has ended and we are pleased to announce the results:

In both rounds, people voted for their favorite media files.

• In the first round, there were 1050 candidate images.
• In the second round, people voted for the 57 finalists (the R1 top 30 overall and top 2 in each category).

In the second round – the “three votes” was used – eligible users could vote for up to 3 finalists – each of these 3 votes counted equal. There were 2,360 eligible voters in R1, and 2,971 in round R2.

We congratulate the winners of the contest and thank them for creating these beautiful media files and sharing them as freely licensed content:
