The contest will focus on freely licensed and high-quality images of natural heritages in Nepal, that will be contributed to Wikimedia Commons for free usage and spread its importance by its utilization in Wikipedia articles. The competition is important because it gives us exposure to the natural heritage of Nepal. Promotes physical meetups between the Wikimedians and new users and photographers.

The jury will comprise 3-4 members with different expertise; people from the Wikimedia community and well-known photographers will be invited to join the jury team .Prizes will be in terms of certificates, gift hampers and token of appreciation.
