The initiative turns September into a period dedicated to documenting Brazilian built heritage and monuments to promote their wider dissemination. Collectively, we uploaded 20,225 new photographs to Commons, 1,331 of which were taken during Photo Walks organized through a partnership between Wikimedia Brasil and cultural institutions across the country. From now on, the Brazilian jury will select 10 photographs for the international stage, where winners from all participating countries will compete. The Brazilian winners will be announced in the first weeks of November, and the international stage winners in mid-February 2027.
