Ten best photographs have been selected from Pakistan to contest for Wiki Loves Earth 2016, an international photo contest of the natural monuments. More than 12000 Pakistanis participated in the competition with over 8,000 beautiful photographs making it the country with the third-largest number of submissions and the highest number of contestants.
Wiki Loves Earth has received more than 75,000 entries from over 7,000 participants from 26 countries throughout the month of May.
All the competition pictures have a free license and can be re-used, after giving due credit to the photographer.
Wiki Loves Earth is organized by California-based Wikimedia Foundation which runs Wikipedia. The contest was first held in 2013 in Ukraine and went international in 2014 with 16 countries participating from four different continents.
