Germany, Ukraine and Pakistan among the top ten countries contributing to the contest. * National competitions are running until June 30. International winners announced by the end of September. * More information: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2017 Conferences in June and July * Iberoconf 2017 was held in June in Buenos Aires, Argentina. It brought together affiliates from Latin America, Spain and Italy, to build a shared understanding of the value of the network and how to become stronger together. More information: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Iberocoop:Iberoconf_2017 * The group also submitted a statement letter with a plea to democratize the movement from a communications perspective, both allowing more inclusion of languages other than English in key communications and exchanges, and also promoting stories about collective impact. * WikiWomen Camp 2017 was held in Mexico City in July, and it brought together women from different countries in the Wikimedia movement, to focus on the gender gap.
