Hello Wikimedians, As you might have noticed already from our central banners, Wiki Loves Monuments 2022 has started from today and will continue until the end of this month. If you are interested to participate in the competition and upload photographs of built heritage structures, please visit this link - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:WLMIN2022
We are also excited to announce that our 3-members national jury team is finalized and honored to introduce them with you all. The jury members are - - Biswarup Ganguly - a veteran Wikimedian from the West Bengal community who has contributed immensely for open knowledge through his documentary photographs of life, culture and heritage of Bengal, especially of Kolkata and surroundings for around 13 years. His photographs on Wikimedia Commons are frequently being used in different news media outlets and by book authors - Humayunn Niaz Ahmed Peerzaada - a professional photographer based in Mumbai, Maharashtra who has been in the field of photography since 2007. Though Humayunn has been involved in photography of all genres, he specializes in architecture, table top & making 360° virtual panoramas. His two series of panoramas of built heritage of West Bengal have earned him wide accolades. - Sugato Mukherjee - a photographer and writer from West Bengal with bylines in BBC, Al Jazeera, Nat Geo Traveller, Deutsche Welle, Mint and several international inflight magazines. His coffee table book on Ladakh was published in 2013 and received critical acclaim. Winner of multiple photography prizes, Sugato's documentary project on the sulphur miners of East Java was awarded distinctions by the UNESCO.
