Your photos

I'm sure you've heard this too many times, but: Thank you for your photographs, all of them – but especially for the way you demonstrate the beauty of ordinary events and ordinary items. Even though it's photography, I usually know when it's you. TooManyFingers (talk) 03:59, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2023 voting is open!

2022 Picture of the Year: Great Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo), Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) and Gadwall (Mareca strepera) in Nepal.

Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2023 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighteenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2023) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 14 October 2024, 23:59:59 UTC.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Einladung zu Wiki Loves Earth 2025 in Deutschland

Hallo Iifar,

auch in diesem Jahr beginnt am 1. Mai wieder der regionale Wettbewerb von Wiki Loves Earth (WLE) in Deutschland und läuft bis zum 30. Juni. Dabei können wie immer Nationalparks, Naturschutzgebiete, Landschaftsschutzgebiete und Naturdenkmäler oder andere Schutzgebiete fotografiert und die Fotos hochgeladen werden. Du hast an einem der vergangenen Fotowettbewerbe teilgenommen. Deshalb laden wir dich ein, auch dieses Jahr wieder mitzumachen. Wir freuen uns auf deine Fotos!

• Sieger von Wiki Loves Earth 2024 in Deutschland
• 
  Kiefer im Elbsandsteingebirge auf dem Lilienstein
• 
  Blühendes Strand-Milchkraut (Lysimachia maritima) am Strand von Norderney
• 
  Ahbach (Ahr) im Naturschutzgebiet am Wasserfall Dreimühlen
• 
  Eine parasitische Sichelwespe (Therion circumflexum) bei der Eiablage in eine Raupe
• 
  Naturschutzgebiet Hirschauer Berg beim Tübinger Stadtteil Hirschau
• 
  Ein Kupfer-Rosenkäfer (Protaetia cuprea) im Naturschutzgebiet Rheinhänge von Burg Gutenfels bis zur Loreley

Der Wettbewerb ist zweigeteilt, das heißt, wir unterscheiden zwischen den beiden Wettbewerbskategorien Landschaft und Detail/Makro. Zur Wettbewerbskategorie Landschaft zählen auch geschützte Einzelbäume. In der Wettbewerbskategorie Detail/Makro werden Pflanzen, Tiere und Pilze in den Schutzgebieten bewertet.

Es sind wie immer viele spannende Motive überall in Deutschland zu finden. Neben als Naturdenkmal geschützten alten Bäumen oder den großen Nationalparks der Mittelgebirge und am Meer können auch kleine städtische Landschaftsschutzgebiete dokumentiert werden. Zu über 16.000 Naturdenkmalen und mehreren tausend Schutzgebieten haben wir noch keine Fotos. Wo noch Fotos fehlen, kannst du über die Karte oder die umfangreichen Listen in Wikipedia herausfinden.

In diesem Jahr wollen wir auch einen Fokus auf Geotope, wie Findlinge, Quellen oder Aufschlüsse, legen. Hierfür gibt es drei Sonderpreise zum Thema Geodiversität.

Damit es ab 1. Mai mit dem Upload schnell geht:

Upload your photos for WLE

Außerdem laden wir dich ein, vom 15. Mai bis voraussichtlich Ende Juli an der Vorjury teilzunehmen. Damit bewertest du die hochgeladenen Bilder und ermittelst so gemeinsam mit der Jury, die Ende August tagen wird, die Sieger von Wiki Loves Earth 2025 in Deutschland.

Zum Vorjury-Tool

Für Fragen steht das Organisationsteam gerne auf der Support-Seite zur Verfügung. Falls du im nächsten Jahr keine Einladung für Wiki Loves Earth in Deutschland haben möchtest, trag dich bitte hier ein. Wir würden das natürlich schade finden, da wir uns auf deine Fotos freuen.

More information about the contest (in German)

Viel Spaß und Erfolg beim Fotowettbewerb 2025 wünscht dir im Namen des Organisationsteams GPSLeo (talk) MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 10:04, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
