Hello Drex
My biggest suggestion at the moment would be for you to join the
Facebook Wiki Loves Africa Group. This is the place where you have most
chance to get in touch, be informed, jump in, ask questions and so on.
Do not wait for us to give you the info (we might forget...), but rather
be proactive. If you are on the facebook group, you will get the info in
time.
The link :
https://www.facebook.com/groups/1948226822099948/?source_id=1503665623210533
Make a request to join and we'll get you in.
Otherwise, the right place to get more information about the contest is
on meta
The link :

What is next at the moment is...
1) cleaning up images (categories, description, countries, insertion in
the right articles). If you want me to remember you at the right moment,
help now :) :

2) photo essays hunting and featuring :

Serieminou was very helpful the last few days on this. If others want to
help... feel free
3) jury and selection of images, locally and globally
4) ceremonies. Locally, I dunno what is exactly planned locally. At the
global scale, we would like to officially announce winners during
WikiIndaba.
5) statistics and such... if you are a data wizard, volunteer... I have
fresh news on this which I will post soon on FB
What I mean is... that even if part of WLA 2017 is already over... you
can still help on it. Which means you will be more informed about how it
works next year.
Next year
Currently quite in the void since WMF has expressed wish to get a step
back as a funder. So we are starting to look for additional funders. If
we are lucky... next contest will be in fall 2018. If we are less lucky,
it may be a little bit later. No big deal.
If any of you want to HELP and GET INVOLVED ACTIVELY in this funny and
challenging and exhausting and exciting activity that is called "looking
for funds", please contact us.

Hi, This is Lily for Wiki Loves Monuments international team. When
you say "organize the photo contest in Gambia", are you referring
to a specific photo contest or any photo contest? :) I'd be happy
to provide some information about how you can start preparing for
Wiki Loves Monuments 2018 if you're interested, but I'm not sure
if that's what you have in mind. Please let me know.
Best,
Lily
