It should be noted that Wiki Loves Africa runs in EVERY African country (and beyond !). In some countries, there is a wikipedian team willing to host events and activities. If that's your case, please add your country below. But if your country is not listed here and you still want to participate to Wiki Loves Africa and submit pictures, please go ahead!
Activities for organizing teams
[edit]We really look forward to working with you on this project and getting some great results!
If you are interested in hosting events around the project then and need funding, submit a rapid grant (see the sessions below for guidance sessions).
Consult this page for how to apply for a Rapid Grant and plan for your events (this page is about 2022... 2023 coming soon). On it you will find helpful resources to support your Wiki Loves Africa local participating communities as you:
- Apply for a Rapid Grant
- What needs to be done
- Plan your events
- Prepare for your event
- Communicate about your activities
- National Juries
As an organizing team, you may decide to organize a National best images selection process, with national winners. Most organizing teams do that. But this is not mandatory. Unlike Wiki Loves Monument, the national selections and the international selection are independent.
So if you want to organize a best national images selection, a ceremony, gifts for national winners, certificate... please do. It is great. But it is also fine to not have a national winner selection. Some countries do not have enough volunteers to run a selection process and ceremony. This is absolutely fine. Please do what is best for you.
If you want to organize a national selection process, please check these Jury process guidelines.
You can see national winners of 2021.
