The activities were carried out with the participation and collaboration of Bikol Wikipedia Community, Commons Photographers User Group, PhilWiki Community and Pilipinas Panorama Community, and individuals who joined on the Wikimedia Commons. Thru the Facebook page dedicated in the promotion of Wiki Loves Folklore, the 2023 photography campaign was announced as early as February 1st while the call for participation in the editing campaign was announced on March 29th thru the Bikol Wikipedia Facebook page.
