[Wiki Loves Africa] Re: [African Wikimedians] Re: [Commons-l] Re: Results from sixteenth annual Picture of the Year contest

:

I am very happy for this shortlist, not only because I actually voted for that very inspiring picture of St John Church of Sohrol in Iran, but also because the third winner of POTY 2022 is an image from the Wiki Loves Africa contest. And this makes me really proud of our work :) Big thank you for the work done by the organizers of this annual recognition process of the quality of our collective work.
