Wiki Loves Africa's 2021 Winners announced outside Wikimedia community - Wikimedia-l

30 Aug 2021

Hello all

We are very excited to announce the winners of Wiki Loves Africa
2021. Due to a permissions issue (that is now resolved - thanks
Commons heroes!) we had to delay the external announcement of Wiki
Loves Africa's 2021 winners.

As you will see on the official announcement
<https://www.wikilovesafrica.net/the-universal-human-experience-celebrated-in-wiki-loves-africas-photo-competition-on-wikipedia/> [1]
there is so much to celebrate in the full collection but the
winners really do shine, and show why Commons and the Wikimedia
projects are so important. If you are interested, dig into the
information here …

Wiki Loves Africa could not happen without the tireless input and
energy from the Wikimedia communities, user groups and enthusiasts
across Africa and beyond. Thank you, thank you for your incredible
enthusiasm.

The international jury this year was made up of a heady balance of
Commonists and professional photographers. Your dedication, time
and experience was invaluable. I hope I have covered all of the
time and effort in this detailed jury repor

You can get a chance to meet the winners and hear about other
participants in the project on Friday's WikiAfrica Hour - details

week!)

Speak soon,

warmest regards
Isla, and Flo and Ceslause
