This will be a one month long contest on adding content related to human rights, environmental health and diverse communities impacted by environmental issues around the world into Swahili Wikipedia

We will use our social media platforms (Signal group, facebook page,Instagram page and Twitter). I have also posted the notification on our Wikimedia Tanzania meta page.

3. How will you judge the contest and award prizes?
Note: Grantees, judges, and other contest leaders are ineligible to receive prizes. Grantees who are serving as judges may not receive gifts through grant funding.

The winners will be judged based on 1.Quality of articles creed 2.Quality of their articles translations 3. Length of the articles created/translated (number of bytes) 4.Quality of Wiki articles based on Wiki writing skills such as the use of images and categories.

4. For photo contests, what is the strategy to get images used on projects?

For all articles that will have no photos the article writers will be taught to visit the Wikicommons categories and urge them to use those photos to improve the Human rights related Swahili articles.

5. Are you running any in-person events or activities? If so, you will need to complete the steps outlined on the Risk Assessment protocol related to COVID-19. When you have completed these steps, please provide a link to your completed copy of the risk assessment tool below:
