Re: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/LGBT/Wiki_Loves_Pride_F...

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
