Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?

The goals were met in the most of it and happy the project was succesful even in short time of planning.

There's an increase of quality content of Commons, Wikidata and language projects. There are also more articles illustrated by high quality images of Nigerian actors and aactresses in their corresponding Wikipedia articles. This project has also replaced several articles that had poor quality (typically mobile phone photographs, blurry photographs or photographs taken of a group of people to illustrate an single artist article).

Through this project Wikimedia Nigeria has increased the contact with organisers of awards shows. This can be helpful for future events and projects.
