📸 Capture the Spirit of Tradition: Join Wiki Loves Folklore 2026!

Your lens. Your culture. Our shared history.

We invite photographers worldwide to participate in Wiki Loves Folklore 2026, the premier international photography contest hosted on Wikimedia Commons. This is your chance to document the vibrant, living history of the human experience and share it with the world.

What We Are Looking For

We want you to capture the "intangible cultural heritage" that makes your region unique. From the spectacle of a grand festival to the intimacy of a daily ritual, we are looking for:

• Folk Arts & Performance: Traditional dance, folk music, ballads, and events like the Europeade.
• Festivals & Rituals: Seasonal celebrations, calendar customs, social practices, and distinct traditions like Diwali.
• Daily Life & Craft: Traditional craftsmanship, folk wear, cuisine, and community traditions.
• Myth & Magic: Folklore, fairy tales, folk religion, mythology, and practices concerning nature (such as Chinese fortune telling).
• Play & Pastime: Folk games, wrestling, and traditional activities.

Why Participate? By contributing your photos, you help preserve the rich tapestry of global folk culture for future generations. Whether it is a local legend or a world-famous dance, your unique perspective helps document the beauty of our diverse world.
