Wiki Loves Earth 2014 Azerbaijan

Wiki Loves Earth in Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan enters the race!
by Interfase, April 2014.
Azerbaijani Wikipedians announce their participation in this interest photo contest, Wiki Loves Earth. Users are invited to take pictures of natural heritage sites, then, during the month of May, upload their best shots in Wikimedia Commons.

You have pictures of natural sites stalled in your computer since your last trip? This is a great opportunity to give them a second life in this Wiki Loves Earth contest. In addition to being seen by everyone, your pictures could be included in Wikipedia and contribute to the preservation of Azerbaijan's natural heritage. Freely licensed photos collected through Wiki Loves Earth may also be reused elsewhere than in Wikipedia.

Photos may have been taken at any time. The key criteria to be eligible for the contest are that they are to be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons in May 2014... and that they have been taken by you, of course!

Combine the pleasant and the useful

There is no minimum age to participate, and there is no participation fee. Besides WLE being a competition, it is first a fun activity, ideal for families. The competition also allows us to inform our natural heritage, while improving our photographic talents!

Wiki Loves Earth is an international photographic competition to promote natural heritage sites around the World through Wikimedia projects (mainly Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons). 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 2014. This page introduces the Azerbaijani part of this competition.

In May, you may upload as many picture as you want of natural sites 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 2014|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.
