Wiki Loves Monuments

Photographing Thailand'S Historical Sites

Wiki Loves Monuments (http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org) is an annual international photography contest and crowdsourcing event in which participants photograph and upload images of historic monuments to Wikimedia Commons. These images are then available for free use on Wikipedia and beyond. More details about this year's annual competition can be found at Wiki Loves Monuments 2015. The competition takes place throughout the month of September each year.

This will be the third time Thailand has taken part in the competition, and everyone is welcome to get involved, whether as a participant (photographer), organizational volunteer, or both. There is no requirement for participants or volunteers to be from Thailand. The Thailand part of the competition is volunteer-led, with significant support from our local Wikimedians in Thailand.

About the contest

Wiki Loves Monuments in Thailand follow the same rules as the international competition. Every submission should be:

• Self taken and self uploaded;
• Uploaded in September 2015;
• Freely licensed;
• Contain a listed monument at the time of judgement;

Next to that, there are a few practical rules:

• The participant should have an activated e-mail address on the upload platform;
• The first winner will get to choose the first prize etc.

Uploaded photographs do not have to be taken during September 2015, and they must NOT have been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons before. Dissemination of photographs through other channels before September 2015 is fine. Participants are free to take photographs of any eligible building, even if Commons already has one or more photographs, but of course a new angle or a new detail is more useful to the project than simply repeating what has been done before.

For this year's competition we are concentrating on Thailand historical sites recognized by the Thai Fine Arts Department. For more details, see the list on Wikipedia and How do I find MID?
