[edit]Activities
[edit]Tell us how you are going to carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
'1. What content will the contest focus on and why is it important to your community?
- We are sure that our country Mali is very rich in folklore such as the old popular dances of the different ethnic groups of Mali, our tales, our traditional songs, folk music, our mythological beliefs, our traidtions and customs of the calendar, folk arts, folk games, our folk theatrical performances and everything related to the ways of life of our peoples
2. How have you let relevant Wikimedia communities know about this proposal? You are required to provide links to on-wiki pages to inform these communities about your proposed work. Examples of places where this can be done include community discussion pages, affiliate discussion pages, or relevant project talk pages.
"You may also provide information about the external social media channels you use."
- Offline: First we talk about it among us Wikimedians and in our different meetings
- Online: We have our facebbok Wikimedia page where we will talk about it https://www.facebook.com/wikimedia.mali
3. How will you let participants know about the contest? In what ways will you be communicating with them?
For example, these can include on-wiki spaces, social media channels, mailing lists, messaging apps, or physical/online gatherings.
- We will create project pages on meta and commons. We will communicate a lot to have many contributors. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Folklore_2022_in_Mali
A jury of 5 professionals photographers will be set up to judge the contributions and select the best Wikipedia contributor during the competition
4. How will you judge the contest and award prizes?
Note: We will strictly adhere to compliance
- the jury will be independent and will choose the winner of the competition
5. For photo contests, what is the strategy to get images used on projects?
- We are going to organize edit-a-thons and upload the images first to commons then see if it is possible to put them on articles. Also from the photos we will make contribution workshops to enhance the photos in the articles that will be created.
