Submissions are invited for Wiki Loves Folklore Photography Contest 2025. The last date of submission is March 31.
Wiki Loves Folklore is a global media contest held annually on Wikimedia Commons, aimed at documenting the diverse folk cultures from around the world. Wiki Loves Folklore 2025 builds on the success of the 2024 campaign, continuing its focus on celebrating folk culture. The initiative traces its roots back to 2018, originating from Wiki Loves Love 2019, which highlighted ceremonies and festivals centered around love.
The media contest invites photographers worldwide to document and celebrate the richness of global cultural heritage, encompassing everything from folk culture, folklore, folk art, and folk magic, to intangible cultural expressions such as oral traditions, language, and performing arts like folk dance, traditional music, traditional songs, and events like Europeade.
We welcome depictions of social practices, rituals, festive events, and traditions such as Gavari, as well as knowledge and practices concerning nature and the universe, including Chinese fortune telling. Additionally, the theme encourages the exploration of traditional craftsmanship, folk wear, folk museums, community traditions, and folk games and activities like folk wrestling, thereby showcasing the breadth and depth of the intangible cultural heritage that shapes our shared human experience.
