Meet the winners of Wiki Loves Monuments 2024
The 14th annual Wiki Loves Monuments photo competition has concluded voting and announced the 2024 winners. The Diff blog reported details of how Donatas Dabravolskas, the photographer who submitted the winning photo, captured his perspective of Christ the Redeemer. Besides the winning photo, all finalist photos are superb feats of photography and documenting some of the most interesting monuments in the world.
Initiated by Wikimedia Nederland in 2010 (Signpost coverage: "Dutch photo hunt"), Wiki Loves Monuments quickly grew into an international effort and remains the world's largest photo contest. In 2024, more than 4,500 wiki editors in 56 countries submitted about 240,000 photos for judgement in the competition. National-level groups of Wikimedia volunteers coordinated regional ranking, elevating selected photos until finally there were a global 55 photos which made it to a final jury with expertise in photography, who deliberated for several months, resulting in this April 2025 announcement of the results.
Beyond the finalist photos, many others of the hundreds of thousands of photos are excellent and worth browsing by category. As always, anyone can submit photos for the upcoming Wiki Loves Monuments 2025, and anyone can volunteer to participate in judging this year's submissions. – Br
