Infographic on how to take part in Wiki Loves Earth

Wiki Loves Earth is an international photographic competition to promote natural heritage sites around the world through Wikimedia projects (mainly Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons), and this is the Zambia version. Everybody can participate! There are a lot of natural heritage sites in Zambia, and the goal of Wiki Loves Earth is to encourage people to take pictures of those natural sites and to put them under a free license so that others may access them through the Internet. The contest will take place from 1 July 2022 to 31 July 2022.

In July, you may upload as many pictures as you want of natural sites that you have visited. The pictures don't have to be taken in July, but must be uploaded during that month to be considered. Provide your photo with {{Wiki Loves Earth 2022|ZM}} template. At the end of the month, the contest jury will begin evaluating the photographs and will choose the best 15 pictures (divided into the categories landscape and macro) of the natural sites in Zambia, and ultimately in the world.

The history of the contest

The contest was initiated and first held (as pilot) by Wikimedia Ukraine in 2013. It was ranked as the 2nd coolest project of Wikimedia Chapters at Wikimania 2013. The competition held throughout May and June, organized worldwide by the Wikipedia community members with the help of local Wikimedia affiliates across the globe. The aim of the event is to highlight the conservation areas of the participating countries with the goal to encourage people to capture pictures of these sights, and to put them under a free license which can then be re-used not only on Wikipedia but everywhere by everyone. Zambia will host its first ever Wiki Loves Earth this year.
