The Jury

Between 22 July and 31 July, you may upload pictures (old or new) as you want from the given list that you have visited. At the end of the competition, the jury will evaluate the photographs and select the best 3 pictures of the natural monuments in for the Ig Wiki Loves Earth 2024. If there are any doubts about the implementation of the rules, the jury decides.

Judging criteria

The jury will determine the winners of the local and 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.

Images that reach a top ranking of the international finale, will typically at least fulfill the technical criteria of the ‘Featured Image’ process at Wikimedia Commons. But feel free to submit images, and let the jury be concerned if they are good enough.
