Project Goal edit
Briefly explain what are you trying to accomplish with this project, or what do you expect will change as a result of this grant. Example goals include, "recruit new editors", "add high quality content", or "train existing editors on a specific skill".
I am an active Wikimedian and photographer that have contributed to Commons and other wiki projects for several years. Since I've started contributing I've donated over 1000 quality photographs to Commons.
The goal of the project is to:
- add high quality content in images from the AMA award.
- cause increase of donated and free images of African actors and musical artist
- ensure more Wikipedia articles will be illustrated by high quality portraits
- more articles of female subjects will be illustrated
- recruit new photographer contributors by the awareness.
- strengthening local relationship between the local wikimedia community and the event organizers
I plan to cover Africa Movie Academy Awards (28th of November 2021) by providing Photography documentation.
