Wiki Loves Earth 2024 in Serbia

Wiki Loves Earth is an international photographic competition to promote natural heritage sites around the world through Wikimedia projects (mainly Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons), and this is the Serbian version. Everybody can participate! There are a lot of natural heritage sites in Serbia, and the goal of Wiki Loves Earth is to encourage people to take pictures of those natural sites, and to put them under a free license so that others may access them through the Internet. The contest will take place from May 15 until July 15, 2024.

In this period, you may upload as many pictures as you want of natural sites that you have visited. The pictures don't have to be taken in this period, but must be uploaded during that time to be considered. Provide your photo with {{Wiki Loves Earth 2024|rs}} template. At the end of the month, the contest jury will begin evaluating the photographs and will choose the best 10 pictures (divided in the categories landscape and macro) of the natural sites in Serbia, and ultimately in the world.
