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?
- Wiki Loves Africa 2022 with Campus Photo Fest Nigeria, will focus on shooting photos and videos, and making audio recordings under the theme "Home + Habitat". These files uploaded to Commons shall be used to illustrate Wikipedia articles on "Home + Habitat" in Nigeria and Africa, which is an opportunity for Africans to tell their own story.
2. How have you let relevant Wikimedia communities know about this proposal? You are required to provide links to on-wiki pages to inform these communities about your proposed work. Examples of places where this can be done include community discussion pages, affiliate discussion pages, or relevant project talk pages.
You may also provide information about external social media channels you may be using.
- Yes, the Wiki Loves Africa 2022 international organizing team is in the know of this proposal.
3. How will you let participants know about the contest? In what ways will you be communicating with them?
For example, these can include on-wiki spaces, social media channels, mailing lists, messaging apps, or physical/online gatherings.
- There is a telegram channel for the previous participants of the Campus Photos Fest Nigeria, and Campus Photo Fest Nigeria will also post about it on their Instagram page. We'll also get Wikimedia Nigeria to post about it.
4. How will you judge the contest and award prizes?
Note: Grantees, judges, and other contest leaders are ineligible to receive prizes. Grantees who are serving as judges may not receive gifts through grant funding.
- We'll have a panel of 3 professional photographers as judges, who will set criteria for best images, and use it to select winners for local awards.
5. For photo contests, what is the strategy to get images used on projects?
- With this grant, we plan to go the whole nine yards. After the contest, participants will proceed to participate in the Wiki Loves Africa 2022 - Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos campaign, they will also participate in the Wiki Loves Africa 2022 ISA tool campaign to add proper captions and descriptions to the photos, to give them more encyclopedic value.
