WIKI LOVES AFRICA 2020
MAIN THEME HOW TO + RULES LOCAL EVENTS


WIKI LOVES AFRICA 2020 MEDIA AND PRESS PAGE

Wiki Loves Africa (WLA) is an annual contest where people across Africa can contribute media (photographs, video and audio) about their environment on Wikimedia Commons for use on Wikipedia and other project websites of the Wikimedia Foundation. Wiki Loves Africa particularly encourages participants to contribute media that illustrate a specific theme for that year. Each year the theme changes and could include any universal, visually rich and culturally specific topic (for example, markets, rites of passage, festivals, public art, cuisine, natural history, urbanity, daily life, notable persons, etc).


Theme for 2020

The theme for the 2014 photo contest was Cuisine. In 2015 it was Cultural Fashion and Adornment. In 2016 it was Music and Dance. In 2017 it was People at work and in 2019 it was Play!.

The contest in 2020 is the sixth year of this proposed annual contest and the theme is Africa on the Move!. The theme Africa on the Move! encourages the submission of visual representations of movement, migration or transportation, whether local or regional, by path, road, sea, or air, self-propelled, or by animal, natural or mechanical means. Submissions could also capture the historical or contemporary structures that have been created to facilitate movement or the transportation of people, goods, or animals.

5 years of Wiki Loves Africa

Wiki Loves Africa is an annual competition that crowdsources photographs, videos and recordings of Africa to form an open licenced archive of materials that tells the story of Africa on Wikipedia through the eyes of its people. Over the last 5 years, Wiki Loves Africa has achieved the following:

  • 48,466 images donated by 6213 submitters
  • WLA images viewed 15,9 million times each month (March/April 2019)
  • WLA images viewed 225,7 million times altogether
  • Wikimedia communities from 20 African countries have hosted participation events
  • Over 200 participation and training events have been held.
  • The competition attracted high levels of new contributors – over 80% for each year.
  • A Wiki Loves Africa prize-winning image was included in the Journeys Through Our Fragile Heritage exhibition at the UNESCO, Paris (organised by John Cummings, WIR at UNESCO), and
  • Wiki Loves Africa’s ISA tool is a pilot project for Structured Data on Commons.

How the competition is organised

The project is a on-month competition which will start on the 15th February 2020 and end on the 31st of March 2020. In the previous years, the contest lasted 2 months. The project will run across the entire continental. However, there are ten groups of Wikipedians that have volunteered to host specific actions (training, upload events, communications, etc.) in their countries. These countries are Algeria, Angola, Bénin,Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, Guinea-Bissau, Guinée, Senegal, Libya, Zambia, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, Rwanda, Uganda, Nigeria, Tunisia, Mali, and Botswana. In addition, there are several groups of individuals within Africa, and Wikimedia groups outside Africa (such as Brazil) that are also involved.

The project is a contest where, after the contest closes, the best media at the continental level are selected and prizes are awarded. An international jury will determine the best entries for the continental competition. Where there are local organising groups, they will decide to organise (or not) judging and local prizes for their country.

Wiki Loves Africa was created and developed, and is managed by the principals at Wiki in Africa, it is funded by the Wikimedia Foundation. Actions in each country are supported by the Wikimedia community in the form of Usergroups and volunteers across Africa.
