"If you are searching for inspiration for your next trip, look no further: The
winners of Wiki Loves Monuments 2023 were announced today.
Recognized by the
Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s largest
photography competition, Wiki Loves Monuments celebrates Earth’s rich cultural
heritage — buildings, structures, and other assets that are culturally relevant
due to their artistic, historic, political, technical, or architectural
importance.
The contest serves as a platform for global collaboration in providing free
access to mesmerizing photos of monuments from all over the planet. As part of
the competition, photographers donate their images to Wikimedia Commons, the
free repository that holds most of the images used on Wikipedia, to ensure that
the world’s most visible cultural heritage is documented and held in trust for
future generations.*
Since the first edition of Wiki Loves Monuments in 2010, more than 2.8 million
photos were submitted by over 60,000 participants all around the world. This
year, the competition elicited 150,000 image submissions uploaded by 3,700
people.
The 2023 winners come from 11 different countries, including Thailand, Poland,
Malaysia, Brazil, Armenia, and others, and were selected from a group of
national winners by an international jury of experts. You can see them all
below."
