Dear African Wikipedians,
Anthere and I have great pleasure telling you that the
Wiki Loves Africa
2015 has been granted funding by the Wikimedia
Foundation. In short - full
speed ahead!!
Sadly, they will only support 8 focus countries. This
means that the
competition for focus countries is fierce. If you
haven’t already submitted
your countries’ proposal, then there is little chance
it will be considered
now. We will be going through the proposals and get
back to those who have
submitted their proposals by the 31st August.
We should also have the marketing materials and
information by then.
Just thought you would like to hear the good news!!
warmest regards
Isla

Dear Wikipedians in Africa
We have sent this to many individuals, but we might
have missed someone -
excuse the cross posting if you get this twice.
A while back, Anthere and I sent a request for
country proposal from teams
across Africa to participate in the Wiki Loves
Africa 2015 competition. We
need you to upload this proposal by the 30th
August. Do not send the
proposal by email. Write it up on meta and add a
link here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Africa#Proposals_from_countries_t...
If you have already sent it, then thank you. We
have uploaded it and
linked it. Please check that it is there.
If you haven’t, and you do wish to be involved,
please can you upload the
proposal directly to META, and link to the page
above. The competition
starts on the 1st October, the last day we can
accept proposals is the
30th August. The theme this year is Cultural
Fashion and Adornment. It
will be an exciting and interesting theme.
If you missed it, you can read the earlier email
here:
Anthere and I are busy working with the WMF to get
the grant proposal
accepted - and are very interested in having new
groups and countries on
board! We would be very keen to consider you
joining the group of
sponsored volunteer groups, however this year we
are wanting the teams to
be proactive about their participation. Please see
the information below
that we sent out to last year’s organisers. If
you would like to discuss
these ideas among yourselves and get back to us by
the end of this month,
that would definitely give us an idea of who will
be part of the project
this year.
Anthere and I have applied to the WMF for Wiki
Loves Africa 2015:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Africa_Centre/Wiki_Loves_Africa_2...
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Africa_Centre/Wiki_Loves_Africa_2015
We would value your endorsement of the project
here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Africa_Centre/Wiki_Loves_Africa_2...
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:PEG/Africa_Centre/Wiki_Loves_Africa_2015#Endorsements
This time we are hoping that 10 countries will host
events, and for this
reason have tried to establish criteria for
involvement so that it will be
clear who can be part of the project.
If you and your groups are keen to be involved,
this year we are going to
choose the groups based on their engagement plan.
The plan should consider
the following:
a cohesive plan of events over the two months of
the competition -
an event and communications budget that should not
exceed the 820 USD (700
event, and 120 communication material) allocated to
each country
a list of the core team members (including email
addresses)
a list of possible partners and targets for local
funding (in-kind or
monetary)
an idea of how to encourage quality submissions,
e.g. an alliance with
local photography groups, etc.
For events, please consider the following:
a press launch, if you feel it is necessary
an event aimed at introducing Wikimedia projects to
a new audience that
could potentially contribute and add to the user
group team - a hub,
interest group, school/ university, etc.
a quality photography demonstration by a local
photography group before a
wikitakes event
a collaboration with local designers or fashion
event, or fashion and
adornment heritage institution.
I look forward to seeing your proposals posted up
by the 30th August!!
warmest regards
Isla and Anthere
