Wiki Loves Monuments is an international photographic competition held every year by the Wikimedia community.
Since 2022, an interactive map application is being developed to improve user experience when participating in the competition, specifically with submitting their photographs to Wikimedia Commons, a free licensed media repository that feeds all Wikimedia projects, including Wikipedia.
It invites photographers and Wikimedia users to locate their photographs to Wikimedia Commons in the context of Wiki Loves Monuments contest.
The dashboard presents a light, mobile friendly and interactive map wher users can navigate and chose a monument that they have photographs of their own, help improve the number of monuments with geographic coordinates.
The application is intended to be responsive, bandwidth friendly and intuitive. It can serve as a base map app for the 30+ countries that hold local Wiki Loves Monuments and other geography-focused photographic competitions. Also, It is a responsive dashboard of the participant’s and the competition’s statistics within Wiki Loves Monuments editions.
