Everybody can take part in the competition. A registration on Wikimedia Commons (one of many Wikipedia sister projects) is required. You are to find in the list of natural heritage objects the ones you know of, take a picture of them yourself (it could be done anytime, previously or starting now) and upload them to Commons (during April 15 – May 15, 2013). The authors of the best pictures will be awarded with prizes. The results announcement and the awarding ceremony will be held in Kyiv, on June 5, 2013, on the World Environment Day. The Organizational Committee has already started preparation work on the competition list, and almost 8 000 of entries are to be included there. Nature reserves, landscape parks, protected areas, natural heritage sites, botanical (dendrological), zoological gardens and parks, and ornamenting gardening objects will be in the list. Yuri Perohanych, Wikimedia Ukraine Executive Director, said that this photo contest will draw the society’s attention to the existing problems of Ukraine natural heritage protection, and the contest itself is to show the perspectives of green/eco tourism in Ukraine. As Yevhen Buket, the contest coordinator, pointed out, the idea to initiate such a competition has arisen after conducting a successful international photo contest Wiki Loves Monuments in Ukraine this September. The goal of the contest was collecting pictures of cultural heritage monuments of Ukraine. Wikimedia Ukraine invited Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine, environmental organizations, as well as donors and sponsors, to help with the organization of the competition and contribute to the contest prize fund.
