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 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Folklore_2023 The page to sign up is at < https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Folklore_2023/Organize

To see an example of the page, please refer to < https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Folklore_2023_in_Malta.... In 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 support@wikilovesfolklore.org. In case, your team wishes to connect via a meeting to further 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,
