Wikipedia Loves Art is a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest aimed at illustrating Wikipedia articles. Photographers can shoot on their own or form small teams to complete the scavenger hunt lists provided by Wikipedia Images submitted to the competition will be used to illustrate Wikipedia articles and teams with the most points at the end of the month will receive prizes.

The month-long contest has been coordinated by the Brooklyn Museum, with fifteen institutions worldwide collaborating on the project—six in New York City alone. Participating institutions include: Brooklyn Museum, Carnegie Museum of Art, The Film Society of Lincoln Center, Honolulu Academy of Arts, Houston Museum of Natural Science, The Hunter Museum of American Art, Indianapolis Museum of Art, The Jewish Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, New-York Historical Society, Smithsonian American Art Museum, Taft Museum of Art, and V&A.

Both the Brooklyn Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art have scheduled meetups in early February. All details, including meetup schedules and scavenger hunt lists; can be found at the Wikipedia Loves Art Flickr group:
