Dfertileplain/Follow up Wikipedia Instagram campaign in Nigeria
Following the success of the Wikipedia at 20 Instagram campaign that I was a grantee which celebrated Wikipedia anniversary in Nigeria by creating a contest on Instagram and video interview on the street of Lagos and which was super successful and the Instagram campaign had over 60 videos entries with 4 winners emerging with over 2000 followers on the Instagram page.. This project is basically a follow-up on the Instagram campaign of the Wikipedia at 20 campaign project to encourage more creative video entries with one winner emerging every month. It will be a 5-month long campaign starting August 2021 and ending December 2021 where participants will submit their video on Instagram to explain creatively how Wikipedia has benefited them, this will also follow up with a Wikipedia training for those interested on how to contribute to Wikipedia every month.
