Which image created special memories that you'd like to share with others? On behalf of the Commons Photographers User Group I wish you, your family and your friends all the best for 2026.

Your Most Memorable Shot Submission!
Hello Frank Schulenburg!
As we step into a new year, we’re happy to invite you to take part in “Your Most Memorable Shot 2025.”
Since 2018, photographers from across the Wikimedia community have come together at the beginning of each year to share the photographs that meant the most to them over the past twelve months. Now in its eighth iteration, this tradition continues to be a space for reflection, storytelling, and celebrating meaningful moments through photography.
Whether you are a member of the Commons Photographers User Group or not, you are warmly welcome to participate and invite others too. Every image carries a story, and your perspective helps enrich this collective showcase.
Whenever you’re ready, please select your most cherished photograph from 2025 and share it on the designated page.
The deadline for submissions is 28 February 2026, so we hope you’ll join us before then.
We look forward to discovering the moments that made your year memorable and to continuing this wonderful tradition together.
Warm regards, -- Suyash Dwivedi (💬) 20:42, 4 January 2026 (UTC) (CPUG)

First board meeting
Dear Suyash, Gnangarra, Harald, Ailura, and GPSLeo,
Congratulations on being elected to the board of the Commons Photographers User Group! Let's get rolling and find a date and time for our first meeting. I was thinking of two options:
- Saturday, March 21, at 14:00 UTC
- Saturday, March 28, at 14:00 UTC
Would any of those work for you? All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 00:15, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
- Great! Thanks! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 06:45, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
- Either date works for me. --Harald Krichel (talk) 08:31, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
- either works for me as well Gnangarra 10:38, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
Thanks a lot so far. Let's wait for Suyash until we make a final decision. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 14:01, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
- Congratulations to all the newly elected board members. I was traveling for the APP meeting, so I couldn’t send my wishes earlier.
- March 21 at 14:00 UTC works for me. We could also dedicate the first 10–15 minutes to a farewell for the previous board, and then continue with the rest of the meeting. -- Suyash Dwivedi (💬) 17:12, 15 March 2026 (UTC)
Ok, Saturday, March 21 is confirmed. Suyash, Gnangarra, Harald, Ailura, and GPSLeo: please all send me your email address, so I can add you to the Google calendar event. Looking forward to this! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 22:54, 17 March 2026 (UTC) P.S. Suyash: I like the idea of inviting the former board members for the first 10 minutes. Could you please send me their email addresses as well?
Done Gnangarra 06:05, 18 March 2026 (UTC)- Sure -- Suyash Dwivedi (💬) 17:41, 18 March 2026 (UTC)

Hi, Frank,
You can hear and download two mp3 files.

- Thanks so much, Laitche! That's very kind of you and much appreciated! I converted the files to .ogg – would you mind uploading them here? --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 23:20, 30 March 2026 (UTC)
- I think it would be best if you handle the upload. Laitche (talk) 05:23, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks so much, my friend! I really appreciate your support. It was amazing for me to hear the work spoken by someone from Japan for the first time. I apologize – I won't be able to upload those file as I'm not the creator. Nevertheless, I have to tell you that I truly enjoyed the experience of deep-diving into the world of Japanese craftsmanship and cuisine while writing the Gyūtō article on the German Wikipedia. I hope I can meet you in person one day! --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:27, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

Round 1 of Picture of the Year 2025 voting is open!
Dear Wikimedian,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2025 Picture of the Year competition is now open. This year is the twentieth 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 favourite images featured on Commons during the last year (2025) 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 the top 5% of most popular images in each category will continue to the final. In the final round, you may vote for just five images to become the Picture of the Year.
Round 1 will end on UTC.
Thanks,
the Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee
