Commons:Wiki Sine Folklore 2025
Wiki Loves Folklore is a global media contest held annually on Wikimedia Commons, aimed at documenting the diverse folk cultures from around the world. Wiki Loves Folklore 2025 builds on the success of the 2024 campaign, continuing its focus on celebrating folk culture. The initiative traces its roots back to 2018, originating from Wiki Loves Love 2019, which highlighted ceremonies and festivals centered around love.
This photography contest celebrates the rich tapestry of folk culture from around the world, featuring categories that include (but are not limited to) folk festivals, dances, music, activities, games, cuisine, clothing, and a wide variety of traditional expressions. These may encompass ballads, folktales, fairy tales, legends, seasonal celebrations, calendar customs, folk arts, folk religion, and mythology. For further inspiration and a broader selection of examples, we invite you to explore our Category page.
The media contest invites photographers worldwide to document and celebrate the richness of global cultural heritage, encompassing everything from folk culture, folklore, folk art, and folk magic, to intangible cultural expressions such as oral traditions, language, and performing arts like folk dance, traditional music, traditional songs, and events like Europeade. We welcome depictions of social practices, rituals, festive events, and traditions such as Gavari, as well as knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe, including Chinese fortune telling. Additionally, the theme encourages the exploration of traditional craftsmanship, folk wear, folk museums, community traditions, and folk games and activities like folk wrestling, thereby showcasing the breadth and depth of the intangible cultural heritage that shapes our shared human experience.
