Dear Team,
My name is Mossab Banat (user:Avicenno ) I am writing regarding a
partnership proposal with our Wiki Loves
Folklore 2023 (WLF) International campaign.
Wiki Loves Folklore 2023 photographic competition, which aims to highlight
the folk culture
and its surrounding areas. The annual international photography competition
known as Wiki
Loves Folklore is held on Wikimedia Commons between the 1st of February and
the 31st of
March of each year. Photographers and people interested in folk culture
from all over the
world congregate at this time of year in order to showcase the folk culture
of their respective
regions by uploading photographs of local festivals, cultural practices,
and other events.
With the fifth anniversary of Wiki Loves Folklore, the international team
is excited to support
the national edition in Greece. We would like to extend an invitation to
Wikimedia Greece to host the Wiki Loves Folklore event in Greece
and help contribute more content related to your culture to the internet.
Please find the project page of this year's edition at
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Folklore_2023>
The page to sign up is at
<

>
To see an example of the page, please refer to

In
case you feel comfortable to have the local edition in either of the two
months (Feb-March)
instead of both months as most of the affiliates are organising WLF in,
please let us know.
If organizing the campaign at such short notice is difficult, would you be
agreeable to the
following:
*Create a page on commons in the regional language for your country
edition. See example.
*Sign up on the International commons page here.
*Light promotion of WLF over social media and regional channels where the
user group
does awareness work in the local community and general public.
If the jury work and consequent funding required for country prizes is not
possible this year,
we as an international team will be doing the jury work for incoming media
for [Country
Name] already.
Feel free to contact us via our project Talk page [Link] or email at
support(a)wikilovesfolklore.org. In case, your team wishes to connect via a
meeting to further
discuss this collaboration, please let us know. We have office hours on the
date and time.
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks and Regards,
Mossab Banat
