Top tips
Criteria
The jury will judge individual entries/ the uploaded photos based on the following criteria (in no particular order):
- Technical quality
- Originality
- Potential usefulness and overall value of the image (including licensing) to the Wikimedia projects
General tips
- Please be respectful and considerate of all fellow photographers and all other participants.
- If you are photographing the interiors of a particular building, stop immediately if asked. Some places prohibit indoor photography, but in others you may be allowed to proceed if you ask permission.
- Do not trespass on private property (it is perfectly OK, though, to take photographs of a private place, while standing in a public place such as the street).
- Where possible, avoid photographing transport vehicles, especially their number plates.
- Please do not upload images of posters, billboards, banners, signs, or anything else having text or two-dimensional images that might be copyright-protected. This applies even to texts or photos that are in a public place and that everyone else is taking pictures of. Ancient wall paintings in churches are fine, as are photos of stained glass windows of any date.
