ویکی دوستدار زمین رقابتی است که در آن شرکت کنندگان می توانند عکسهای خود را با موضوع مناطق طبیعی تحت محافظت به ویکی کامان بفرستند. این رقابت بین المللی بوده و در سال 2015 برای دومین بار در 26 کشور جهان برگذار شد. این رقابت هم اکنون به پایان رسیده است و ما هم اکنون قادر به معرفی برندگان بین الملی خود هستیم.

ویکی دوستدار زمین، دو هدف اصلی را دنبال میکند. نخست اینکه ما قصد داریم به این روش تا هر اندازه که امکان داشته باشد به جمع آوری و انتشار عکسهای مرتبط با مکانهای طبیعی و مناطق تحت حفاظت تحت یک لایسنس رایگان پرداخته و دوم اینکه بدین روش بتوانیم افکار عمومی را به سمت حفاظت از محیط زیست سوق دهیم.

ایده اولیه ویکی دوستدار زمین در سال 2013 در کشور اوکراین شکل گرفت. در سال 2014 ویکی دوستدار زمین به 15 کشور دیگر جهان در چهار قاره نیز گسترش یافت — اروپا، آسیا، آفریقا و امریکا.

در سال 2015 بیش از یکصد هزار عکس از سوی شرکت کنندگان ارسال شده است.

Wiki Loves Earth was organised through numerous national contests, coordinated by local volunteers. The national juries then submitted up to 10 pictures to the international stage of the contest. With 26 participating countries, the international jury had to consider a total of 259 candidate pictures. The jury selected and ranked the photos in several stages by means of a dedicated web tool.

The international jury was composed of 9 photographers from different countries, all experienced in nature photography: Dmytro Balkhovitin (Ukraine), Matthew Buck (Great Britain), Dietmar Bartz (Germany), Walaa Abdel Manaem (Egypt), Alex Wang (USA), Katerina Zareva-Simeonova (Bulgaria), Zeynel Cebeci (Turkey), Susanne Plank (Austria) and Yathin Krishnappa (India).

After careful evaluation jury members have selected the following images, in addition to the winning image above.
