Wiki Loves Monuments is an international photographic competition to promote historic sites around the World through Wikimedia projects (mainly Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons). Everybody can participate. There are a lot of historic monuments in all participating countries. The goal of Wiki Loves Monuments is to encourage people to take pictures of those monuments, 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 September 2022. This page introduces the Azerbaijani part of this competition. In September, you may upload as many picture as you want of monuments that you have visited. Pictures don't have to be taken in September, but must be uploaded that month to be considered. At the end of the month, the contest jury will begin evaluating the photographs and will choose the best 10 pictures of the monuments in Azerbaijan, and ultimately in the world. Upload your photos in September How to participate Step 1: Find monuments in your locality. Check: are they in the lists of the monuments? Note the monument ID! Step 2: Make photos of the monuments. Make as much and as good photos of as many monuments as you can. Step 3: Classify your photos: which ID belongs to which monument? Step 4: Upload your photos to Wikimedia Commons from 1 to 30 September. Freedom of Panorama Please note, that there is no yet freedom of panorama in Azerbaijan, so we can only upload photos of monuments if the architect died before 1951, or if the building was constructed before this date (if the architect is unknown).
