"This twelfth iteration of Wiki Loves Monuments saw 172,000 entries from 4,914
applicants, 3,198 of which were new to the contest. An international jury of
experts evaluated, reviewed, and ranked the 339 winning photos based on
technical quality, originality, and usefulness for Wikipedia. Winners for 2021
hail from 11 different nations. Some countries, like Ukraine, Poland, and
India, have multiple winning photographers.

The Wiki Loves Monuments competition requires that photographers donate their
images to Wikimedia Commons. These photos can then be used on Wikipedia and the
other Wikimedia projects, allowing documentation of the world’s cultural
treasures for present and future generations."
