维基爱非洲

Wiki Loves Africa (WLA) is an annual contest where anyone across Africa can contribute free media that is relevant to their experience to Wikimedia Commons for use on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia communities (Wikimedia movement), and also make this shared media freely available for the Humankind.

Wiki Loves Africa encourages participants to contribute media (photographs, video and audio) that illustrate the specific theme for that year. Each year the theme changes and is chosen by the community from a few universal, visually rich and culturally specific topics (for example, markets, rites of passage, festivals, public art, cuisine, natural history, urbanity, daily life, notable persons, etc).

主题

Wiki Loves Africa particularly encourages participants to contribute media that illustrate a specific theme for that year. Each year the theme changes and could include any universal, visually rich and culturally specific topic (for example, markets, rites of passage, festivals, public art, cuisine, natural history, urbanity, daily life, notable persons, etc).

2023年的主题是气候与天气；
2022年的主题是家乡与习俗；
2021年的主题是身体与健康；
2020年的主题是交通；
2019年(*)的主题是娱乐；
In 2017, we worked on People at work;
In 2016, the chosen theme was Music and Dance;
In 2015 the theme focused on Wiki Loves Africa Cultural Fashion and Adornment;
In 2014 the theme was Wiki Loves Africa Cuisine.

(*) 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 ;))

地点

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.

奖项

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.

2023年的奖项如下：

Photography

一等奖：2,000美元
二等奖：1,500美元
三等奖：1,000美元

Media (Video, Audio, Graphics, Photo Essays)

Best audio or video prize : US$750
Best Video prize: US$1,000
Best graphics : US$750
