The contest was first organized by Wikimedia Spain in 2016 and Amical Wikimedia joined the contest in the 2017 edition. Wiki Loves Folk has collected more than 4,100 photos of 149 festivals over the past two years that can be used on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. In the two first editions, 116 contributors participated, 63 of which were new.
What is the scope of this project? edit
