Dear Team,
My name is Mossab Banat (user:Avicenno ) I am writing regarding a partnership proposal with our Wiki Loves
Folklore 2023 (WLF) International campaign.
Wiki Loves Folklore 2023 photographic competition, which aims to highlight the folk culture
and its surrounding areas. The annual international photography competition known as Wiki
Loves Folklore is held on Wikimedia Commons between the 1st of February and the 31st of
March of each year. Photographers and people interested in folk culture from all over the
world congregate at this time of year in order to showcase the folk culture of their respective
regions by uploading photographs of local festivals, cultural practices, and other events.
With the fifth anniversary of Wiki Loves Folklore, the international team is excited to support
the national edition in Sri lanka. We would like to extend an invitation to
Wikimedia Sri lanka to host the Wiki Loves Folklore event in Sri lanka
and help contribute more content related to your culture to the internet.
Please find the project page of this year's edition at
The page to sign up is at
To see an example of the page, please refer to
case you feel comfortable to have the local edition in either of the two months (Feb-March)
instead of both months as most of the affiliates are organising WLF in, please let us know.
If organizing the campaign at such short notice is difficult, would you be agreeable to the
following:
*Create a page on commons in the regional language for your country edition. See example.
*Sign up on the International commons page here.
*Light promotion of WLF over social media and regional channels where the user group
does awareness work in the local community and general public.
If the jury work and consequent funding required for country prizes is not possible this year,
we as an international team will be doing the jury work for incoming media for [Country
Name] already.
Feel free to contact us via our project Talk page [Link] or email at
discuss this collaboration, please let us know. We have office hours on the date and time.
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks and Regards,
Mossab Banat
