Wiki Science Competition 2025 in the Igbo community
The Wiki Science Competition celebrates the fusion of science and photography through an international photo contest. It invites participants to showcase the wonders of science through captivating imagery. This competition serves as a platform for individuals to share their scientific discoveries and phenomena. The Wiki Science Competition spans from November 1 to December 15, 2025, inviting participants globally. Originating in Estonia, it expanded to Europe in 2015 and reached other parts of the world by 2017. The Igbo Wikimedians are actively engaging in the 2025 competition again since they first organised in 2023 and encouraging their members to join either by uploading science related media on commons or creating/translating science related articles on the Igbo Wikipedia.
