Join us for Wiki Loves Folklore 2025, the annual international photography contest hosted on Wikimedia Commons! This vibrant event celebrates the beauty and diversity of folk cultures from around the world. Photographers are encouraged to contribute compelling images that highlight the traditions, customs, and unique charm of global folk cultures in all their forms.
The contest features a wide range of categories, including folk festivals, dances, music, cuisine, clothing, games, and other traditional practices. Participants can capture the essence of folklore through representations of ballads, folktales, seasonal celebrations, folk arts, religion, mythology, and more.
This global competition invites photographers to document and preserve the richness of cultural heritage. Submissions may include scenes of social rituals, festive events like Europeade, or unique traditions such as Gavari. Photographers can also explore themes like traditional craftsmanship, folk museums, performing arts, and folk games, showcasing how these intangible cultural expressions enrich our shared human story.
