Jury decision
editDear Ogalihillary and colleagues from Igala Wikimedia Community,
We are sincerely grateful for the time and effort you have invested in the micro-grant application for WikiIndaba 2024. Your interest in contributing to this event is greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately, we have to inform you that your application for the micro-grant has not been successful. The fact that we received an impressive number of quality applications and the constraint of funding only five applications, as we had indicated in the call for applications, made the decision-making process extremely difficult. Given these constraints, the team decided to award grants only to under-represented communities or groups.
Although your application was not selected, we greatly appreciate your interest in WikiIndaba 2024. To stay engaged and follow all the latest updates, we invite you to follow us on Facebook, Twitter and instagram. In addition, we encourage you to subscribe to our YouTube channel, where we will be sharing conference highlights and key sessions. We also suggest that you contact the members of your group who will be attending the conference, so that they can share their experiences and learning with you.
Yours sincerely
Scholarship Team, WikiIndaba 2024 Conference. --VALENTIN NVJ (talk) 15:58, 19 September 2024 (UTC)
