Dear Organiser,
I hope this email finds you well. As we gear up for another exciting edition of Wiki Loves
Folklore, we are reaching out to you, our esteemed local organizer, to invite your active
participation in the 2024 campaign.
Wiki Loves Folklore photo contest in Commons, in conjunction with the Feminism &
Folklore contest in Wikipedia, is a vibrant initiative that brings together photographers,
contributors, and enthusiasts from around the world to capture and celebrate the rich
tapestry of folklore and cultural heritage. Your dedication and efforts have been
instrumental in making past editions a success, and we are thrilled to have you on board
once again.
Campaign Details:
-
Duration: February 1st to March 31st, 2024

Objective: Showcase the diversity of folklore through compelling photographs on Wikimedia
Commons and contribute to Wikipedia's coverage of folklore, with a special emphasis on
cultural diversity and gender inclusivity on Wikipedia.
Your Role:
Create Campaign Pages: Kickstart the campaign by creating Wiki Loves Folklore 2024
dedicated pages on Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia and add them to the Organize
subpage and the Project subpage on Meta. These pages will serve as a hub for information,
guidelines, a list of proposed items, tools, instructions or other communications to the
community.

photographers and Wikimedia contributors. Encourage them to participate, share their
experiences, and seek assistance if needed.
