Activities

1. What content will the contest focus on, and why is it important to your community?

Wiki Loves Folklore 2023 in Togo will focus on photo shooting activities under the theme play. Pictures will be uploaded on commons and will be used to illustrate Togolese related articles on Wikipedia and on its sister projects. We will also make an exhibition of best images in partnership with a festival of book in Togo in order to encourage best images entries.

2. How will you let people know about the contest?

Offline: Word of mouth and posters will be posted on whatsapp and displayed in libraries, Universities and schools
Online: We will set up social media pages (Facebook, Twitter, meeting on Zoom ect ) to reach people online.

3. How will you judge the contest and award prizes?

A jury of 5 professional and passionate photographers will set criteria and will select 3 best images based on these criteria.

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

We will have edit-a-thons to help integrate some of these uploaded images into existing articles on Wikipedia. We may also create new articles based on these images at the edit-a-thons.

ALL our activities will be done online and offline.
