Dear Wikimedians,
I hope this message finds you well. We are excited to announce the launch of Wiki Loves Monuments 2024 in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and we are looking for enthusiastic volunteers and knowledgeable jury members to join our team.
Wiki Loves Monuments is an international photographic competition where participants capture images of historical monuments and cultural heritage sites to share them with the world via Wikimedia Commons. This year, we aim to highlight the rich cultural heritage of the UAE through photography.
Volunteer Roles: As a volunteer, you will play a crucial role in organizing and promoting the competition. Tasks may include outreach, social media promotion, coordination with participants, and more.
Jury Members: We are also seeking jury members who are familiar with Wikimedia Commons guidelines and have expertise in photography or cultural heritage. Your role will involve evaluating and selecting the best photographs submitted to the competition.
