Commons:Wiki Loves Earth 2020 in Latvia
Wiki Loves Earth is a photography contest in which the participants upload images of nature monuments at Wikimedia Commons, so that they can be subsequently used in Wikipedia's articles. The first edition took place in 2013 and was organized by Wikimedia Ukraine. The contest became international in 2014.
Latvia first joined in 2017. The local contest is held between June 1–July 31, 2020. During the contest, you may upload as many pictures as you want of natural sites that you have visited. Pictures don't have to be taken in June or July, but must be uploaded during those months to be considered. Provide your photo with {{Wiki Loves Earth 2020|lv}} template. At the end of July, the contest jury will begin evaluating the photographs and will choose the best 10 pictures of the natural sites in Latvia, and ultimately in the world.
