Get Ready for Wiki Loves Monuments 2025 in Ireland!
Heritage Week is the perfect time to look back, get inspired, and gear up for the return of Wiki Loves Monuments launching on August 24th. Get involved with the world’s largest photography competition celebrating our built heritage.
From August 24th to September 30th 2025, you’ll have the chance to capture Ireland’s historic landmarks and share them with the world. Whether it’s a windswept lighthouse, a bustling Georgian street, or an ancient stone fort, every image you contribute helps preserve our heritage in the digital age through Wikimedia Commons.
You can find a list of events taking place this heritage week here, why not attend and take some snaps? Then on August 24th upload them on Wikimedia Commons to win prizes!
Get Inspired at the Wiki Loves Monuments Virtual Exhibtion
You can also take a tour through some past winners at our virtual gallery exhibition here. From the delicate carvings of medieval cathedrals to dramatic coastal ruins bathed in sunset light, these photographs show the creative and powerful ways people have documented Ireland’s heritage over the years. Let them inspire your own vision for Wiki Loves Monuments 2025.
