Wikimedia Commons Sponsors October Monument/Historic Site Photo Contest
This just in from commons.wikimedia.org
“Wiki Loves Monuments is an international photographic competition to document and promote historic sites around the world through Wikimedia projects (mainly Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons). Everybody can participate.
A 'monument' refers to a protected historic site that is recognized by a governmental body or other organization, such as a historical society. In the United States, this primarily consists of places listed on the National Register of Historic Places, which is the United States federal government's official list of districts, sites, buildings, structures and objects deemed worthy of preservation for their historical significance. We also accept photos of historic sites that are recognized by tribal, state, and local governments, as well as historical societies and related organizations.
This year the United States is participating through the month of October. By sharing your photos under a free license, you help document our history and share it with the rest of the world to enjoy through the internet, and get a shot at winning a prize!” Here are the steps for submitting your work:
