Get inspired by the images that participated in 2025.
Why participate?
This is a unique opportunity to document, value, and protect Peru's amazing biodiversity while contributing to global open knowledge. Your photos will be featured in Wikipedia articles (the most consulted encyclopedia on the planet), showcasing the richness of our ecosystems to millions of people: from the mangroves of Tumbes to the snow-capped Andes. Plus, all images are hosted on Wikimedia Commons, an open database used by schools, scientists, and international media. You'll be part of a digital legacy for future generations!
By documenting natural areas, you're helping monitor environmental change (by comparing old and new photos). You're raising awareness about endangered species or fragile ecosystems. You don't need to be a professional; you can upload photos from your personal archive. You could also win international awards and visibility for your work (your credits will appear with every use of your photos). It's easy and free! If you don't have one yet, create an account. More information about the international contest is available at https://wikilovesearth.org.
If you'd like to participate in promoting the contest, we have a space with press releases and other communication materials.
Competition rules
For photos to be eligible for the contest in Peru, each submission must be:
- File created and uploaded by the author;
- Must be uploaded between June 1 and July 31;
- Must use the CC BY-SA license;
- Can be about a listed site;
In addition, there are some practical rules:
- Your Wikimedia Commons account must be associated with an active email address. Check your account preferences;
- If the photo is deleted for any reason, it will automatically be disqualified from the contest;
- You are responsible for complying with the law when taking and uploading the photo.
You can upload as many photos (old or new) as you like of the sites you have visited. In August, the national jury will evaluate the photographs and select the top 15 to represent Peru in the international finals. The international winners are announced by the International Jury in December.

The Jury
Our jury will process the images in two or three rounds. At the end of this process, the jury selects the top 15. If there is any doubt about the application of the rules, the jury decides. Our jury will be composed of individuals with expertise in art, photography, history, and historic preservation. Their decision is final.
Judging criteria
The jury will determine the winners of the international competition based on the following criteria (in no particular order):
- Technical quality (sharpness, use of light, perspective, etc.)
- Originality
- Usefulness of the image for Wikipedia.
NOTE: Images that reach the top of the international finals generally meet the technical criteria of the "Featured Image" process on Wikimedia Commons.
