Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2025 in Sweden
|
Welcome to Wiki Loves Monuments 2025 in Sweden Wiki Loves Monuments is an international photographic competition to promote historic sites around the world through Wikimedia projects (mainly Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons). Everybody can participate. By submitting your photos to the competition, you share and help preserve the cultural heritage of Sweden for all of humanity. In September, you may upload as many pictures as you want of cultural sites that you have visited. The pictures don't have to be taken in September, but must be uploaded during that month to be considered. At the end of the month, the contest jury will begin evaluating the photographs and will choose the best 10 pictures of the monuments in Sweden, and ultimately in the world.
Why participate?
Sweden is a large country, with monuments wherever you go. In every corner, there are cultural heritage sites worth a visit. This competition is a great opportunity to bring your camera, go to the heritage sites listed, take some photos and show the planet and culture from your point of view to the rest of the world! Participating in the competition is a great way to experiment and learn which photos that gain recognition. You certainly don't need to be a professional photographer to take photos useful for Wikipedia. Here's a great chance to try it out! Entries to the local competition are eligible for selection to the international finale and did we mention there are prices to win? Wikimedia Sverige also has a technology pool with several cameras and lenses that we can lend. Read more about them, how you could use them for Wiki Loves Monuments, and other tips and ideas for WLM 2025 here. Have a look at some of the previous years' winners![edit]
What can I photograph? The competition name refers to monuments, but in the Swedish context this is to be interpreted as anything from four types of heritage sites: protected buildings, ancient remains, protected ships and pleasure boats and working life museums. Each of these sites are given unique identification numbers by official authorities and any official site is eligible. The lists below may not be fully up to date or shortend, and where the data differs all objects from the original data are valid objects.
Competition rules We try to keep the competition clean and simple to participate. There are only a few rules for photos to participate in the contest in Sweden.
