Årets bild på Wikimedia Commons

Nyligen annonserades tävlingen om årets (d.s.v. 2009 års) bild på Wikimedia Commons. Du kan fortfarande rösta, ända fram till den 21 maj, förutsatt att du registrerade dig senast 2009 . Ta chansen! Så här skriver juryn:

Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that it has now opened the 2009 Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year competition.
Any user registered at a Wikimedia wiki since 2009 or before with more than 200 edits before 16 January 2010 (UTC) is welcome to vote.
Nearly 900 images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year
are fighting to impress the highest number of voters. From professional animal and plants shots, over breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant images, images portraying world’s best architecture, maps, emblems and diagrams
created with the most modern technology and impressing human portrays, Commons features pictures for all flavours.
Two rounds of voting will be held:
In the first round, you can vote for as many images as you like.
In the final round, when about 20 images are left, you must decide for one image to become the Picture of the Year.
Check your eligibility now

and if you’re allowed to vote, you may use one of your accounts for the voting.
In Round 1 we have sorted the images into topic categories for your convenience. Feel free to vote for as many images as you like,
there’s no limit in vote numbers in Round 1. The Round 1 category winners and the top 10 overall will then make it to the final.
We’re now interested in your opinion which images qualify for being the Picture of the Year 2009.
Thanks,
Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Några av de här bilderna är strålande vackra, så även om du inte får rösta kan du ändå förvånas och njuta över hur generösa folk är med sina bilder. Alla bilder är dessutom fria att använda, liksom de över 6 miljonerna andra bilderna på Wikimedia Commons. Den här bilden vann förra året:

Hästar på berget Bianditz i Navarra, Spanien. I bakgrunden syns bergmassivet Aiako Harria.

Och den här bilden kom tvåa:
