Dear all
We would like to inform you that the Wiki Loves Africa 2017 grant request
has been accepted !
Yeah !
La demande de subvention pour WLAf 2017 a été acceptée
THE THEME
*People at Work*
*Competition scope:* The theme calls for photographs, videos and audio
files that document all manner of occupations undertake across the
continent - formal and informal, contemporary and ancient,
business-oriented and creative. There will be a special prize that will be
concentrated on visually capturing women working, and another that
illustrates rare, fading or threatened traditional craft, style or way of
working.
LE THEME
Les gens au travail (traduction à préciser)
Il y aura un prix spécial pour l'illustration des femmes au travail. Et un
spécial pour les métiers menacés d'extinction.
WHEN
The contest will run October-November
There will be a dedicated drive after the event to better use and integrate
pictures
QUAND
Le concours se déroulera en Octobre et Novembre
Il y aura aussi un effort particulier après le concours pour mieux intégrer
et réutiliser les photos
*************
A few things to note though...
1. This year, per request from WMF, only 13 countries will be allowed to
request funding to participate with local events. That list covers any
country which has already participated to WLAf at least once.
Moreover, amongst those 13 countries, some will be covered by the WLAf
Project Grant in the same way than in 2014-2015-2016, whilst some will have
to request a Rapid Grant to WMF.
This is the list of countries who should ask a Rapid Grant if they want to
join in
* 1. Egypt 2. Tunisia 3. Cameroon 4. Nigeria 5. Ghana 6. Côte d’Ivoire 7.
Algeria 8. South Africa *
*Of course, we would support those asking for the rapid grant as needed.
The main benefit is... that local budget can potentially increase given
that max budget for a Rapid Grant is 2000 dollars. *
*We will reach out to all groups individually anyway to discuss this. *
This is the list of countries who should follow the same process than last
year if they want to join in
* 1. Ethiopia 2. Uganda 3. Tanzania 4. Malawi 5. Zimbabwe 2. The contest is
moving towards incorporating more volunteer positions. So if you want to
get involved in organizing the contest at the global level, please get in
touch with us asap so that we can integrate you from the start in the whole
organization and planning. Project will start with evaluation planning, in
consultation with and supported by WMF, to improve documentation and
reporting of impact. We will probably launch an easy going group list to
better coordinate this and involve people. So please, if you want to be
part of it... jump in (<evil look>we will contact some of you privately
anyway. The african developer group is on target for example</evil look> *
I hope this is clear. Contact me if not.
* Contactez moi si ce qui est expliqué ci dessus n'est pas clair. *
