Hello guys,

The Wikimedia Community Brazilian Group of Education and Research launched today the Wiki Loves the Olympics, a pilot project of an international photo contest about the Olympics and Paralympic games.

Our focus is Brazil, but the contest is open for all the world.

We are fixing some issues during this week but the contest is already open for submissions!

In parallel to that initiative, we are running an editing contest in cooperation with many countries members of the Iberocoop https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_the_Olympics

We need some help to translate our templates and banners on commons and spread that project around our international community.

Comments and help are welcome!

Best regards!
