We are getting ready to launch the LGBT+ Featured Picture drive, and hand out $600 in prizes for winners. :-)

To make this a success lots of help is needed! If you have language skills, please take a look at the draft banners proposed at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/LGBT/Wiki_Loves_Pride_F... These should be written to support the different language Wikipedias that have a Featured Picture nomination process.

There is a draft of the Central Notice request at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CentralNotice/Request/Wiki_Loves_Pride_Featu... We are keen to get the notice agreed in the coming week. Please do chip in with suggestions or dive in and edit with improvements to the way the request is written.

If you are interested in taking part in the competition panel or helping as a friendly volunteer advisor to entrants on how to handle the Featured Picture nomination processes for Commons or the various Wikipedia projects, drop me an email; the Featured Picture criteria and procedures vary between projects so local experience would be a great help. The grant application is at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/LGBT/Wiki_Loves_Pride_F....

Cheers, Fae
