Everybody can participate. There are a lot of natural heritage sited in all participating countries. The goal of Wiki Loves Earth is to encourage people to take pictures of those natural sites, and to put them under a free licence so that others may access them through the Internet. To achieve that, an international contest will take place in May 2016. This page introduces the Azerbaijani part of this competition. In May, you may upload as many picture as you want of identified natural monuments / natural parks / protected areas that you have visited. Pictures don't have to be taken in May, but must be uploaded that month to be considered. Provide your photo with {{Wiki Loves Earth 2016|az}} template. At the end of the month, the contest jury will begin evaluating the photographs and will choose the best 10 pictures of the natural site in Azerbaijan, and ultimately in the world.
