Wiki Loves Africa <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa_2023> aims to celebrate the richness, diversity and beauty of Africa by encouraging participants and contributors to upload their media to Wikimedia Commons for subsequent use on Wikipedia. The 2023 iteration of the project, which ran from 1st March to 30th April with the theme *Climate & Weather*, received an overwhelming response, with a total <https://ptools.toolforge.org/uploadersincat.php?category=Images+from+Wiki+L…> of *13,385* submissions from* 785* uploaders representing *53 African countries <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_Wiki_Loves_Africa_2…>*.

Today, we are excited to announce the *winning media entries <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa_2023/Winners>*, which were selected by our esteemed panel of judges.
