Good news, the WMF grant has now been approved! This gives the
community a modest prize fund of $600 for photographers sharing new
LGBT+ visually themed photographs on Commons which then get to
Featured Picture status either on Commons or one of the 43 different
language Wikipedias with Featured Picture processes.
There were a couple of areas to be tightened up before the competition
starts, refer to the grant page for details and feel free to chip in
with further questions (or to share ideas for possible answers).
If you would like to help out with this competition, either as an
experienced helper for photographers new to the Featured Pictures
process, a writer to propose a couple of central notices and list
announcements, or would like to help me and Funcrunch with checking
that nominations are appropriately "visually LGBT+ themed", drop me an
email in confidence (it may take me a while to get back to you as I'm
travelling over the coming week).
P.S. crossposting to GenderGap as I know a lot of LGBT+ and those
interested in helping with improving this type of diversity of content
and quality hang out here. :-)
Thanks,
Fae
