To celebrate, the Photo Directory team has set up an open challenge for anyone to contribute to the [WordPress Photo Directory](https://wordpress.org/photos/):  **Submit a photo that captures something unique about your local area**, in a way that helps represent the geographic diversity of the WordPress community. The challenge starts today, August 18, 2022, and will end on August 28, 2022. ## Photo challenge details Take a photo of something you love in your local area (your neighborhood, town, city, or country). It can be a landscape, a street, a building, or something iconic of that region, for example. How you capture it is entirely up to you. Feel free to get creative and try a different shooting angle or composition. **Challenge requirements:** * Make sure your images meet the [**WordPress Photo Directory guidelines**](https://wordpress.org/photos/guidelines/) for licensing, image file size and format, and content to be considered for approval and inclusion.  * You can **submit up to five (5) photos at a time for approval**. Once approved, you can upload more. Here are some images contributed to the Photo Directory to inspire you: ![“Table Mountain, viewed from the suburb of Bloubergstrand, Cape Town, South Africa” by @dtolken](https://i1.wp.com/pd.w.org/2022/08/28961b996d147fd98.69400832-1024x1024. jpg?ssl=1) ![“Amsterdam-City of Canals” by @afshanadiya](https://i0.wp.com/pd.w.org/2022/08/ 6516298c359701754.25664445-1024x770.jpeg?ssl=1) ![“View on the Swiss Alps through a window from Rigi Kulm near Lucerne” by @martinsauter]( https://i0.wp.com/pd.w.org/2022/08/53961c56e11a3d700.46087039-1024x768.jpg?ssl=1) ![“Misti Arequipa Perú” by @renzotejada](https://i1.wp.com/pd.w.org/2022/08/88962f286dbb31142.44337711- 1-1024x1024.jpg?ssl=1) ![“Cherry blossom. 桜の花” by @bissy](https://i1.wp.com/pd.w.org/2022/08/594627f39c79f25c5.74026466- 1024x683.jpg?ssl=1) * “[Table Mountain, viewed from the suburb of Bloubergstrand, Cape Town, South Africa](https://wordpress.org/photos/photo/28961b996d/)” by [@dtolken](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dtolken) * “[Amsterdam-City of Canals](https://wordpress.org/photos/photo/6516298c35/)” by [@afshanadiya](https://profiles.wordpress.org/afshanadiya) * “[View on the Swiss Alps through a window from Rigi Kulm near Lucerne](https://wordpress.org/photos/photo/53961c56e1/)” by [@martinsauter](https://profiles.wordpress.org/martinsauter) * “[Misti Arequipa Perú](https://wordpress.org/photos/photo/88962f286d/)” by [@renzotejada](https://profiles.wordpress.org/renzotejada) * “[Cherry blossom. 桜の花](https://wordpress.org/photos/photo/594627f39c/)” by [@bissy](https://profiles.wordpress.org/bissy) ## How to submit your photos * First, you will need to [log into your WordPress.org account](https://login.wordpress.org/)( or [create a new one](https://login.wordpress.org/register)) to contribute to the WordPress Photo Directory. * Before submitting your photo, we ask you to review the [Guidelines](https://wordpress.org/photos/guidelines/), [License](https://wordpress.org/photos/license/), and these [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/photos/faq/). * Follow the steps at [wordpress.org/photos/submit/](https://wordpress.org/photos/submit/) to upload your photo.
