Are you a skilled photographer? Do you have a way with words? Are you passionate about data?
Just like everything else Wiki, the “Wiki Loves” competitions every year couldn’t happen without the hard work and contributions of a flurry of volunteers who help us promote and judge the competitions and maximise the use of the subsequent images throughout the different Wiki projects. 2026 is no different and we’d love your help! We have three competitions this year… Wiki Loves Folklore <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Folklore_2026> - February and March 2026 Wiki Loves Earth <https://wikilovesearth.org/> - May and June 2026 Wiki Loves Monuments <https://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.uk/> - September 2026 To help us with managing these competitions we’re looking for the following volunteers for any or all of the above competitions. Comms & Community support <https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/14yLZVtln2Tw6m5GGK2-w3ZNxCsF2UAKnR15-dxe_-BY/edit> - We need volunteers who can help us make sure we’re shouting about the “Wiki Loves” competitions in the right places, making it easy for people to take part and celebrating the efforts of those who do. Competition judge <https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1hCzIkd-FBnNOTlAKU-sX-qvad-yEZsjzBav4-DWiN5I/edit> - Our judges help determine which are the best entries that have been submitted to a particular competition and which we should submit to any international panel. The role might suit people with photography experience themselves or who understand the importance of high quality images to Wiki projects Data volunteer <https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/14uY0e65JUbaUZURW5xFK6xoCESGZ9KhpL-W_mlSZMvA/edit> - And of course, we want these images to be useful and helpful in the wider Wikiverse which is where data volunteers come in. If you’re knowledgeable about Wikidata, we’d love your help!
