Dear all, Today at 1 July the photo contest *Wiki Loves Public Space* started in Belgium. This year is the first year in what we have during the full Summer freedom of panorama <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_panorama> in Belgium ( info <https://be.wikimedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_panorama>), which means that modern buildings and artworks in the public space can be photographed and freely be published. For years it was not possible to illustrate articles with photos of modern buildings and artworks in the public space due the limitations of the Belgian copyright law. To celebrate this freedom and to compensate the many years of not being allowed to upload photos of these Belgian subjects (and thus bare articles), we organise this photo contest.
During the Summer months July and August 2017 anyone can participate by uploading their own photos from modern buildings, public artworks, heritage monuments and memorials, present in the public space in Belgium. Also photos you made earlier are welcome. See for more information about how to participate at: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Public _Space_2017_in_Belgium This invitation is also available at: https://be.wikimedia.org/wiki/Invitation_to_the_photo_ contest_Wiki_Loves_Public_Space_2017_in_Belgium Kind regards, Romaine board member Wikimedia Belgium Rue du Trône 51 1050 Brussels [email protected] www.wikimedia.be be.wikimedia.org https://twitter.com/Wikimedia_BE
