Heading out to nature for the Sukkot holiday? The American educational content giant Wikimedia wants you to take your camera with and shoot as many of Israel’s heritage sites as you can.
The online database’s “Wiki Loves Monuments” international photography competition is currently underway. The contest runs September 15 through October 15, simultaneously in 46 countries.
Israeli photographers snapped 6,067 pictures for last year’s competition.
Organizers have put up a list of heritage sites on the Wikimedia Commons website.
Israeli photographer Ronen Akerman, a representative of Wikipedia, leads the local judging panel. Ten of the best Israeli images will be sent to compete in the global event. The three top photos will also be awarded a monetary prize.

The Sukkot holiday in Israel is one of the year’s most culturally packed weeks. Dozens of family-oriented festivals vie for audiences from across the country.
Notice boards located outside schools and kindergartens are layered with flyers advertising one performance over another.
With a blooming arts and entertainment scene in Israel, however, it’s difficult to make a wrong choice. The Yaron Yerushalmy Magical Legends children’s theater festival in Tel Aviv is a standard during the Sukkot holiday. So, too, are the Haifa International Film Festival and Pearls of Classical Music Festival in Jerusalem.
