Hello everyone

Wiki loves Africa photographic competition began on the 15th of February 2022 and will run till the 15th April 2022. Wikimedia South Africa is running its own leg of the 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_Commonsfor use on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/en:Wikipedia and 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). You are encouraged to submit any photos of'*Home and Habitat https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa_2022/Theme *in South Africa between 15th February and 15h April 2022. By submitting your photos to the competition, you share homes and habitats in South Africa with the rest of the world to enjoy through the internet.

I am sending this email to you all for those who have a passion for photography. The more people with a passion for photography driven by the passion of the theme that know about the competition the better. This competition can be 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.

Please see the link https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Africa_2022_in_South_Africa on how to enter the competition

We have an upcoming event for the competition please let me know if there is anyone who would like to participate in the event for further details

I hope to hear from you soon

Kind regards
