Activities[edit]

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. What content will the contest focus on, and why is it important to your community?

The content for the Wiki Loves Africa 2021 will be about collecting images related to Health and Wellness and it is important in Rwanda as a country that has launched many initiatives to improve citizens' health and wellness such as Car Free Day whereby two times a month there are certain roads where sports activities are practiced with no cars to improve lives and great steps have been made in the health sector.

2. How will you let people know about the contest?

We shall use social medias, promotional materials (posters/flyers), local radios, email list of previous and prospect new members etc. And we announced it on our community Metapage as well.

3. How will you judge the contest and award prizes?

We will set a team of 3 judges mixed with Wikimedians and professional photographers to be part of the jury team and set the criteria before the beginning of the contest and the prizes will be awarded in form of vouchers to the best 3 winners.

The following will be the jury members:

  • User:Innocentrw
  • User:Emmanuelkwizera
  • User:Dpiskho

4. For photo contests, what is the strategy to get images used on projects?

There will be a small present that will be awarded to the participant who will have used the highest number of photos taken/uploaded during the WLA 2021 contest on various Wikimedia projects such as Wikipedia, Wikidata, etc.

5. Are you running any in-person events or activities? If so, you will need to complete the steps outlined on the Risk Assessment protocol related to COVID-19. When you have completed these steps, please provide a link to your completed copy of the risk assessment tool below:
