1. What content will the contest focus on, and why is it important to your community?

Wiki Loves Africa 2019 in Chad will focus on training and photo shooting activities. Pictures uploaded on Commons will be used to illustrate and improve articles related to the Chadian and African work world on the other Wikimedia platforms.

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

We will inform and invite, via our mailing list, Wikimedia Chad and Wenaklabs' Facebook and Twitter pages to the community to participate in the contest. All social media platforms in our community will wear the contest colors for the duration of the contest; they will be used to promote the contest.
We will also take advantage of our network of journalists to communicate about the contest and engage the public.

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

We will have a panel of 3 judges who will set criteria for best images and use these as a basis to select the best images for local awards.

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

We will hold weekly "Evening Editathons" where we will re-use uploaded photos to illustrate and enhance existing articles or to create new ones.
