How to Participate
1. Create a User Account: If you do not have a user account for the Wikimedia projects, you can create one here: Create Account. It is possible to do this without including an email address. However, email addresses are needed for notifying winners and allowing us to contact you to ensure that your photo is eligible. Email addresses are not visible to Wiki Loves Pride organizers or to others.
2. Find a Subject: In Wiki Loves Pride, we are looking for photos that capture the essence of LGBT+ experiences, culture, history, and heritage. This can include events, landmarks, symbols, and everyday life within the LGBT+ community. Consider attending local Pride events or visiting significant LGBT+ landmarks across Ireland.
3. Go Out and Photograph! With this competition, we want to capture the vibrant and diverse LGBT+ community without compromising their comfort and safety. Please ensure that you respect the privacy and consent of individuals in your photographs. If photographing events or people, always ask for permission. When taking photos in public places, be mindful of local regulations. If you want to take photos with a drone, know the local regulations and adhere to them.
Adding coordinates is voluntary but extremely useful. If your camera offers the option to save the coordinates for the photos, please use this function. This allows the photos to be clearly assigned. If your camera does not offer this option, you can record your locations with your smartphone or a navigation device and add them later. Alternatively, you can estimate the approximate location on a map afterward.
4. Upload Your Photos: Photos can be uploaded for the competition from 1 June until 31 October 2024**. It does not matter when the photos were taken. To upload the photo, visit the Wiki Loves Pride Ireland page and follow the instructions to upload your images.
