Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2024 in Palestine
Wiki Loves Monuments is an international photographic competition to promote historic sites around the World through Wikimedia projects (mainly Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons). Everybody can participate. By submitting your photos to the competition, you share and help preserve the cultural heritage of Palestine for all people in the State of Palestine and the rest of the world, to enjoy through the internet.
In September, you may upload as many pictures as you want of cultural sites that you have visited. Pictures don't have to be taken in September, but must be uploaded during that month to be considered. Provide your photo with {{Wiki Loves Monuments 2024|ps}} template. At the end of the month, the contest jury will begin evaluating the photographs and will choose the best 10 pictures of the monuments in Palestine, and ultimately in the world.

The Jury
In September, you may upload as many pictures (old or new) as you want from the given monuments list that you have visited. At the end of the month, the national jury will evaluate the photographs and select the best 10 pictures of the cultural heritage monuments in Palestine to submit to represent in the international finale. If there are any doubts about the implementation of the rules, the jury decides.
Eligible objects
The competition name refers to monuments, but in the Palestinian context this is to be interpreted as anything from three types of heritage sites: religious, archaeological and historical sites.
The jury will determine the winners of the international contest taking into the consideration the following criteria (in no particular order):
- Technical quality (sharpness, use of light, perspective etc.);
- Originality;
- Usefulness of the image for Wikipedia.
