Image of Connemara National Park wins first prize in Wiki Loves Earth 2022
An image of Connemara National Park has won first prize in the Irish round of the international photography competition, Wiki Loves Earth.
Organised by local Wikimedia affiliates, the movement behind free encyclopaedia Wikipedia, and run in Ireland by the Wikimedia Community Ireland, Wiki Loves Earth was created to raise awareness of protected sites and habitats internationally, and create a crowd-sourced collection of diverse and high quality photos that will be free to use for education, tourism, and awareness.
From amateurs to professionals, photographers of all skill levels were invited to photograph protected sites including national parks, nature reserves, Special Areas of Conservation, Area of Outstanding Beauty, Ramsar sites, and Geoparks across Ireland and Northern Ireland and upload their photos to Wikimedia Commons. The top ten Irish images will now go forward to the international round of the competition.
