Hello everyone,
Today India celebrates 75 years of independence from British rule but this date also reminds us of the partition and its aftermath. To both celebrate and commemorate this occasion, we are excited to launch a new photography competition named Share Your Struggle:
*https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Share_Your_Struggle_2021 https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Share_Your_Struggle_2021*
The first iteration of Share Your Struggle will run from *15 August 2021 to 31st August 2021*. For this pilot, the scope is limited to images and videos from India. The goal of the project is to improve coverage of free usable media files related to various struggles, such as, natural disasters https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_disasters, health crises such as COVID-19 pandemic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_pandemic, social movements https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_movement, conflict-torn areas, and any other humanitarian crises https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humanitarian_crisis. The goal is not only to document crises, but also humanitarian efforts and acts of kindness that happen during such crises. The scope of the project includes *images* and *video* files.
Make sure to read the *Rules and FAQ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Share_Your_Struggle_2021/Rules_and_FAQ* for the competition before uploading any images or videos. We also suggest you read *"Photographs of identifiable people https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Photographs_of_identifiable_people#Moral_issues"* and *"Exif https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Exif"* pages on Wikimedia Commons..
We are still looking for more people to join the team of volunteers https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Share_Your_Struggle_2021/Team to help organize this event now and hopefully in the future as well. If you are interested to join, feel free to sign up on this form https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdhPyDb-o0YrjtdyCFDGrS-BDL31sb0XfcUvoXGTvSXdBju3w/viewform .
