Welcome to the Wikimedia Commons portal for Wiki Loves Monuments 2026!

Wiki Loves Monuments (WLM) is a public photo competition around cultural heritage monuments, organized by Wikimedia chapters and groups. In 2010 it was organised in the Netherlands, and was followed by a Europe-wide 2011 edition. Ever since 2012 the competition is organized annually in countries across the world! This is the biggest photography competition in the world and we hope to be able to count on massive participation again this year.

The aim of the contest is to ask the general public —readers and users of Wikipedia, photographers, hobbyists, etc.— to take pictures of cultural heritage monuments and upload them to Wikimedia Commons for use on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects.

Read more about how you can participate in the photo contest on the website of the contest.

If you want to express your interest and to be kept up to date, please leave your contact details at Commons:Wiki Loves Monuments 2026/Participating countries, and for help with the coordination of your national contest there is an email list for national organizers.
