Hello everyone,
Free Knowledge Africa is organising a contest; The 2023 Afrosport Writing Contest!
Afrosport is an African games and sports writing contest on Wikipedia.
There is a huge content gap on the internet/Wikipedia as regards contents on African Sports in English and other Languages.
This contest aims to bridge the content gap on Wikipedia by writing articles about the historical and contemporary African Sports Scene focusing on the English Wikipedia and 6 African languages; Wikipedia (Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Dagbani, Swahili and Kinyarwanda.)
If you're interested in promoting sports in your local community, writing about the favourite games and sports you grew up playing, translating sport related articles on wikipedia to your local languages, or anything related to the Sports scene in your country, join us on this exciting venture!
Come join us on the 15th of February in The Afrosport Writing Contest. There are amazing prizes to be won and also there will be training sessions.
