Dear Wikimedian,

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2023 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year will be the eighteenth edition of the annual Wikimedia Commons photo competition, which recognizes exceptional contributions by users on Wikimedia Commons. Wikimedia users are invited to vote for their favorite images featured on Commons during the last year (2023) to produce a single Picture of the Year.

Hundreds of images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered in this competition. These images include professional animal and plant shots, breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historical images, photographs portraying the world's best architecture, impressive human portraits, and so much more.

For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topical categories. Two rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you may vote for as many images as you like. The top 30 overall and top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just three images to become the Picture of the Year.

Round 1 will end on 14 October 2024, 23:59:59 UTC.

Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Wiki Loves Monuments Ukraine 2024: thank you for your help!

Dear Darafsh,

We are very grateful for your help with pre-selecting photos for our edition of Wiki Loves Monuments 2024 - it allowed us to meet the deadline of the International team, and submit the winning pictures of our competition to the International Jury.

We are still wrapping up things on our end, so we would be able to send the souvenirs and certificates of gratitude only some time in January. Sorry about this delay, but we hope this unique barnstar can serve as a virtual thank you note meanwhile!

Thanks and take care!
