Wiki Loves Africa (WLA) is an annual contest where anyone across Africa can contribute free media that is relevant to their experience to Wikimedia Commons for use on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia communities (Wikimedia movement), and also make this shared media freely available for the Humankind.
This year marks the 11th anniversary of the contest and its a good opportunity to reflect on the journey so far hence this event. The theme for 2025 is Farm to Plate and participants are encouraged to contribute media (photographs, video and audio) that illustrate the specific theme.
