Project Plan
[edit]Activities
[edit]1. What content will the contest focus on, and why is it important to your community?
- Wiki Loves Africa 2021 in Togo will focus on photo shooting activities under the theme Home and Habitat. Pictures will be uploaded on Commons and will be used to illustrate Togolese related articles on Wikipedia and on its sister projects. We will also make an exhibition of best images in order to encourage best images entries.
2. How will you let people know about the contest?
- Offline: Word of mouth and posters will be printed and displayed in libraries, Universities and schools
- Online: We will set up social media pages (Facebook, Twitter ) to reach people online.
3. How will you judge the contest and award prizes?
- A jury of 3 professional and passionate photographers will set criteria and will select 3 best images based on these criteria.
4. For photo contests, what is the strategy to get images used on projects?
- We will have edit-a-thons to help integrate some of these uploaded images into existing articles on Wikipedia. We may also create new articles based on these images at the edit-a-thons.
5. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?
