Dear all,
We ran a Wiki Loves Africa in South Africa 2023 photograph competition "Wiki Loves Africa'' is an annual contest where anyone across Africa can contribute media that relates to that year's theme to Wikimedia Commons https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Wikimedia_Commons for use on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Wikipediaand other project websites of the Wikimedia Foundation. Wiki Loves Africa encourages participants to contribute media (photographs, video, and audio) that illustrate the specific theme for that year. Each year the theme changes. Each year's theme is chosen by the community to be a universal, visually-rich, and culturally-specific topic (for example, markets, rites of passage, festivals, public art, cuisine, natural history, urbanity, daily life, notable persons, etc). Participants were encouraged to submit photos of' Climate and Weather https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa_2023_in_South_Africa in South Africa between 1st of March and 30th April 2023. By submitting photos to the competition, participants shared pictures of climate and weather in South Africa with the rest of the world to enjoy through the internet.
This competition is great for aspiring photographers, photography students, or anyone who is interested in photography, but it is still open to anyone who wants to partake in the competition.
