Wiki Loves Heritage is a yearly photo contest that is a spin-off, and an extension of Wiki Loves Monuments, so that movable, immaterial, maritime heritage, landscapes, and museum collections are also allowed. It was organised for the first time in 2018 by Wikimedia Belgium.

This page documents the technical side of the photo contest projects.

Purpose

From 1 July to 30 September 2023 Wikimedia Belgium organised a photo competition "Wiki Loves Heritage 2023 Belgium". All types of heritage are welcome. There are four goals:

• For the photo hobbyists: a photo contest
• For institutions: the possibility to do content donations
• For Wikimedians: describe objects on Wikidata and Structured data on Commons, write articles on Wikipedia about Belgian heritage
• For the public: discover our heritage

Structured metadata is also be collected for each photo:

• Captions in different languages
• "Depicts", a Wikidata attribute that indicates what the picture represents
