Wiki Loves Monuments 2023 è iniziato: partecipa anche tu!
ricevi questo messaggio perché in passato hai partecipato a Wiki Loves Monuments Italia o Wiki Loves Earth Italia.
Anche quest’anno torna Wiki Loves Monuments: da oggi al 30 settembre puoi partecipare caricando le tue foto per contribuire a illustrare il patrimonio culturale italiano: vai sul sito wikilovesmonuments.it e scopri come fare!
Oltre ai 20.000 monumenti già in concorso, quest’anno si aggiungono più di 60.000 edifici religiosi, tema centrale di quest’edizione. Prendi la tua macchina fotografica, o il tuo smartphone, e individua i monumenti in concorso tramite la nuova web-app – disponibile sia da mobile che desktop – app.wikilovesmonuments.it, da cui potrai anche caricare direttamente i tuoi scatti. Sono ammesse anche foto scattate prima del concorso, purché siano inedite.
A livello nazionale verranno premiate le dieci migliori fotografie: cinque per gli edifici religiosi e cinque per le altre categorie di monumenti; queste immagini parteciperanno anche alla fase internazionale del concorso. Non sono ammesse immagini con watermark o cornici, né fotografie eccessivamente elaborate in postproduzione. Qui puoi consultare Il regolamento completo e per qualsiasi dubbio puoi scrivere a contatti@wikilovesmonuments.it.
In bocca al lupo e buon divertimento! --Ysogo(talk) 05:0, 1 September 2023 (UTC) (Questo messaggio è stato inviato tramite il sistema Global message delivery)

Hello Maurizio Carlini
Your image was nominated as quality images candidate on 12th August. My comment on this was: "This one looks really good, but the colour noise in the back is a bit much. @Maurizio Carlini: Can you may reduce the colour noise in the background a bit?"
As the image was nominated by Civvì I'll ask you directly if you can apply this improvement. --D-Kuru (talk) 09:33, 15 August 2025 (UTC)Reply
The international organizing team is preparing a session on Wiki Loves Earth International at the upcoming CEE Conference this September. In this session, we will uncover the hidden stories behind the submitted photos — and we would love to feature yours!
Behind every Wiki Loves Earth photo, there’s more than just nature — there’s you: the adventure, the challenge, the deep sense, the surprise, or even the funny coincidence that made the shot unforgettable.
📸 Did you hike 10 km at sunrise to get that perfect view?
📸 Did an unexpected animal step into your frame?
📸 Was the landscape hiding a secret only locals know?
📸 Was it taken in a fragile ecosystem or a territory under threat from climate change or human activity?
📸 Or does it show a place already damaged, reminding us why preservation matters?
📸 Or maybe the photo/video changed the way you see nature?
2023 Picture of the Year: Incense plays an important role in Vietnamese life. It is considered as a sacred bridge to connect the visible life of human beings and the world of heaven, earth, and gods. Photo taken in Quang Phu Cau village, on the outskirts of Hanoi, Vietnam. In this picture, incense sticks are being set out to dry, after being dipped in the incense solution.
Dear Wikimedian,

I also want to highlight what an incredible turnout we had. In the second round, we saw a massive jump in both the number of users voting and the total votes cast. We had exactly 13,979 votes cast by 3,509 users! To put that in perspective, last year we had 7,403 votes from 2,837 users. It is amazing to see that level of growth and community engagement.
Thank you to everyone who voted, helped organize, and generally made the contest such a huge success this year!
