Wiki Loves Earth is an international photographic competition to promote natural heritage sites around the World through Wikimedia projects (mainly Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons). Everybody can participate.

There are a lot of natural heritage sited in all participating countries. The goal of Wiki Loves Earth is to encourage people to take pictures of those natural sites, and to put them under a free licence so that others may access them through the Internet. To achieve that, an international contest will take place in June 2019. This page introduces the Malaysia part of this competition.

In June, you may upload as many picture as you want of identified natural monuments / natural parks / protected areas that you have visited. Pictures don't have to be taken in June, but must be uploaded that month to be considered. Provide your photo with {{Wiki Loves Earth 2019|my}} template. At the end of the month, the contest jury will begin evaluating the photographs and will choose the best 10 pictures of the natural site in Malaysia, and ultimately in the world.

Upload your photos in June
