FESPACO Edit-a-thon edit
Date: Saturday, May 18 - June 1, 2024
AfroCreatives WikiProject is partnering with FESPACO, Africa’s largest film festival, in a continent-wide Edit-a-thon.
In the lead-up to the campaign, participants are encouraged to join online and/or in-person training sessions to learn how to contribute to Wikipedia, or if already familiar with editing Wikipedia, to refresh their skills. To accommodate as many people as possible, the following is scheduled:
- Two “global” online training sessions in each of 3 languages (English, French, Arabic).
- A series of local online and in-person training sessions led by local Wikipedia organizers around the continent.
In addition to a general training session focused on Wikipedia:
- A training session (in French, Arabic, and English) focused on Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata, two affiliated projects within the Wikimedia family. For participants within the film industry with rights to images, here’s why Wikimedia Commons is especially relevant to you.
Registrants can choose from two Wikipedia sessions scheduled in each language. The agendas are the same for each session.

FESPACO Edit-a-thon Prizes edit
The FESPACO edit-a-thon allows participants many ways to contribute and compete for prizes. In addition to Wikipedia, contributions can be made to Wikidata as well as Wikimedia Commons.
On Wikipedia, contributions to create and expand new articles include copy editing; adding images; adding or editing references, film-related infoboxes, filmography tables, wikilinks, and links to external film databases; and categorizing articles, among other contributions.
The primary contribution on Wikimedia Commons is uploading images, audio, and video. On Wikidata, which is used to store structured data, such as information about people, places, and things, editors focus on making data-related entries and edits.
The Golden Screen Prize Awarded to the editor who has contributed the most bytes in the creation and/or expansion of Wikipedia articles about African film and television.
The Silver Screen Prize Awarded to the editor who has contributed the second highest amount of bytes in the creation and/or expansion of Wikipedia articles about African film and television.
The Bronze Screen Prize Awarded to the editor who has contributed the third highest amount of bytes in the creation and/or expansion of Wikipedia articles about African film and television.
Newbie Screen Prize Awarded to a first-time Wikipedia editor who has contributed the most bytes in the creation and/or expansion of Wikipedia articles about African film and television.
The Tahar Cheriaa Prize Named after the pioneering Tunisian film critic and founder of the Carthage Film Festival, awarded to the editor who has contributed the most substantive and well-written text-based contributions to new or existing Wikipedia articles on the subject of African film and television.
Thérèse Sita-Bella Prize Named after the Cameroonian director and one of Africa’s first female filmmakers, awarded to the editor who has made the most Wikipedia contributions centered on women in African film and television.
Screen Prize for Translation Awarded to the editor who has contributed the most quality translations on Wikipedia on the topic of African film and TV.
Wikimedia Commons Prizes 1st, 2nd, and 3rd prizes awarded to participants who have uploaded the most African film and television-related images/videos/audios to Wikimedia Commons.
