Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM) is a public photo competition around cultural heritage monuments, organized by Wikimedia chapters and groups. In 2010 it was organised in the Netherlands, and was followed by a Europe-wide 2011 edition. Wiki Loves Monuments 2012 went global and was organised in several countries around the world, including Brazil, Canada, Chile, India, Panama, Ghana, the Philippines, Russia, South Africa and the United States.

The aim of the contest is to ask the general public—readers and users of Wikipedia, photographers, hobbyists, etc.—to take pictures of cultural heritage monuments and upload them to Wikimedia Commons for use on Wikipedia.

Aruba joined the competition twice already: in 2013 and 2014. We now are organizing it on all of the islands of the Dutch Carribean: Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten, Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba. This competition is organised in close collaboration with the Dutch WLM team.

Are you interested in local heritage? Enthusiastic about sharing your knowledge and want to show the beauty of the Islands through Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons? Want to help organizing Wiki Loves Monuments in the Dutch Caribean? We are also looking for sponsors for prizes and partners to help us. Please contact Ciell at ciell.wikipedia
