Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos Contest in Nigeria 2021

How would it be if Wikipedia articles had no images?

How would it be if you could add images to Wikipedia using available tools?

How would it be if you could win prizes for that?

Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos Contest in Nigeria is an annual campaign where Wikipedians in Nigeria add photos to articles lacking images. This is to promote the use of digital media files collected from various WP photography contests, organized by the Wikimedia community, on Wikipedia article pages. Photos improve readers' experience, illustrate content, and make articles engaging. The campaign would also help sharpen the skills of new and existing editors.
