(*) If you wonder why there is no 2018... it is not due to skipping a year. In 2014-2015-2016-2017, the contest was taking place around October-November-December. Then in 2019, we decided to move to January-February-March to better accommodate the wikimedia community calendar of photo contests ;))
Where
The project is run at the entire African continent level. However, every year, specific actions (training, communication etc.) are held in some countries with national organisers.
Prizes
At the end of the contest, some national organizers host local ceremonies and prizes (some others do not). This is up to local teams to decide if they want to host ceremonies.
In any cases, there is a global jury, and global selection of international winners (usually between 3 to 6), with prizes.
In 2023, the international prizes are:
Photography
1st prize: US$2,000
2nd prize: US$1,500
3rd prize: US$1,000
媒体（動画、録音、図表、写真エッセー）
最優秀録音・動画賞：750アメリカドル
Best Video prize: US$1,000
最優秀作品賞：750アメリカドル1
Africa Environment Video Prize: Best video representation of the impact of climate change : US$2,000
Africa Environment Special Collection Prize: Best collections of images showing the impact of climate change : US$500
Each winner might also receive a pack of branded goodies.
