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 in Senegal will focus on photo shooting activities under the theme "Home + Habitat". Pictures will be uploaded on Commons and will be used to illustrate Senegalese related articles on Wikipedia and on its sister projects.
Because of the covid pandemic and the theme of the contest, we cannot organize a photohunt or visits with large groups. So we will propose to the members of our community to do "photo hunts" in small groups (2 or 3 people maximum).

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.

Offline: Word of mouth and posters will be printed and displayed in libraries, Universities and schools
Online: We will set up social media pages (Facebook, Twitter ) to reach people online. Last year' participants will be contacted.

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.

We will set up social media pages (Facebook, Twitter) to reach people online. Last years' participants will be contacted.

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.

A panel of 3 judges will set criteria and will select 3 best images based on these criteria. The jury will have at least one woman.

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

We will ask regular editors from our community to add pictures on the wikipedia articles. It worked very well on previous editions.

6. 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:
