Hello members!

In May and June, the international photo competition Wiki Loves Earthhttps://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2019 will take place once again. As we now seems to have a healthy number of active online membershttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Community_User_Group_Sri_Lanka/English/Members from all 3 language groups, I am optimistic we could finally enroll Sri Lanka this time! :-) In a nutshell, WLE is a global contest to encourage volunteers from all over the world to upload high quality freely licensed photographs to Commons, so that the quality images could be reused by Wikimedia projects (and others) to improve articles and other content.

If you would like to volunteer for this international event, please express your interest or ask questions on this project pagehttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Community_User_Group_Sri_Lanka/English/Events/WLE2019. If you have any questions or clarifications before volunteering, please feel free to ask here on this email thread, on the usergroup talkpagehttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wikimedia_Community_User_Group_Sri_Lanka/English#Call_for_volunteers_-_Wiki_Loves_Earth_2019, or via a private email to me.

Warm wishes, and looking forward our first WLE Sri Lanka!

Yours truly,
