Wiki Loves Folklore is an international photographic competition that aims to enjoy and celebrate cultural diversity from around the world via Wikimedia projects (primarily Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons). Everybody can participate.
Feminism and Folklore is an international writing contest organized at Wikipedia annually in the months of February and March to document folk cultures and women in folklore in different regions of the world. This project is the Wikipedia edition of the photography campaign Wiki Loves Folklore (WLF) that is organized on Wikimedia Commons to document folklore traditions around the world. The basic aim of the competition is to collect articles on human cultural diversity for the worldwide free encyclopedia Wikipedia and other Wikimedia Foundation projects. This year we focus on folk culture around the globe, with a particular attention to closing the gender gap, as we are partnering with other affiliates and groups across the world.
We have been organizing a multilingual Wikipedia contest since 2019 and have chosen to host the project on meta, allowing inter-wiki, inter-lingual, and inter-project collaboration to foster the true aspect of our global wikilove movement. The articles provided must correspond to the theme, which means that most users will be able to find several related subjects close to the theme, such as festivals, dances, cuisine, clothing, or daily life routines emphasizing the folk culture of that area. You are free to choose an article from our working list, or pick up a topic of your own, provided it is related to the main theme and focuses on closing the gender gap. Intangible cultural heritage has different meanings for different groups ;thus ,it looks at enhancing content, helps with intercultural dialogue, and encourages mutual respect for other ways of life. It also brings forth an acknowledgement of cultural diversity for the users' consumption.

Out and about
- Please be considerate and respectful of your fellow photographers and others.
- If you are photographing building interiors, stop straight away if you are asked to do so. Some places prohibit interior photography, but in others you may be allowed to continue if you ask for permission.
- Do not trespass on private property (it is perfectly OK, though, to take photographs while standing in a public place such as the street).
- Where possible avoid photographing vehicles, and particularly vehicle number.
- Please do not upload photographs of posters, noticeboards, signs, or anything else having text or two-dimensional images that might be copyright-protected. That applies even to text or images that are in a public place and that everyone else is taking pictures of. Ancient wall paintings in churches are fine, as are photos of stained glass windows of any date.
