Commons:Wiki Loves Folklore 2026 in Manila
This is the activity page of Pilipinas Panorama Community based in Manila, Philippines, for Wiki Loves Folklore 2026.
Wiki Loves Folklore is an international multimedia competition to enjoy and celebrate the cultural diversity of the world through Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia. Everyone may participate. Wiki Loves Folklore 2026 builds on the success of the 2025 campaign, continuing its focus on celebrating folk culture. The initiative traces its roots back to 2018, originating from Wiki Loves Love 2019, which highlighted ceremonies and festivals centered around love.
This year's media contest celebrates the rich tapestry of folk culture from around the world, featuring categories that include (but are not limited to) folk festivals, dances, music, activities, games, cuisine, clothing, and a wide variety of traditional expressions. These may encompass ballads, folktales, fairy tales, legends, seasonal celebrations, calendar customs, folk arts, folk religion, and mythology. For further inspiration and a broader selection of examples, we invite you to explore the Category page.
