31 Jan '24

Dear Wikimedia Community, Apologies for cross-posting this but I hope this email finds you well. We are excited to officially announce the kick-starting of Wiki Loves Folklore (WLF) and Feminism and Folklore! As active members of the Wikimedia community, we invite you to join us in celebrating and documenting the folk culture from around the world. Wiki Loves Folklore (WLF): Wiki Loves Folklore is an annual international photography competition that runs throughout February, organized by Wikimedia community members and local affiliates. The competition's mission is to preserve and promote intangible cultural heritage through the lens of photography. We encourage photographers to contribute media showcasing their local folk culture to Wikimedia Commons under free licenses. The resulting media can then be utilized on Wikipedia and various platforms with proper attribution. Feminism and Folklore: In addition to WLF, we are thrilled to present Feminism and Folklore, an international writing contest held on Wikipedia annually during February and March. This contest aims to document folk cultures and the role of women in folklore across different regions of the world. Feminism and Folklore is the written counterpart of the photography campaign Wiki Loves Folklore (WLF) organized on Wikimedia Commons to capture and document folklore traditions globally. Key Dates: - Start Date: February 1, 2024 - Deadline: March 31, 2024 How You Can Participate: We encourage our local organizers to please start putting your houses in order for this event. Whether you're a seasoned contributor or a newcomer, your involvement is crucial in making these projects a success. Here's how you can participate: 1. Organize Events: Plan meet-ups, edit-a-thons, or workshops to engage your local community in contributing to Wiki Loves Folklore and Feminism and Folklore. Share your event details on relevant platforms to attract participants. 2. Spread the Word: Use your social media channels, mailing lists, and community forums to spread awareness about these projects. Encourage others to join and contribute their unique perspectives. 3. Document and Contribute: Be an active participant by documenting and contributing content related to folk culture and feminism in folklore. Your contributions will help enrich the global understanding of these important cultural aspects and at the end of the day you win some fanatic prizes. 4. Support New Contributors: please let us Welcome the newcomers and guide them through the process. Encourage them to share their images taken by themselves and not download images off the internet. Together, let's celebrate and preserve the diverse cultural heritage that defines us. For more details and to participate, visit the official Wiki Loves Folklore and Feminism and Folklore pages on Facebook, Instagram, X, Telegram, Youtube and on our Wikimedia talk pages on Commons <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Folklore> or just email support(a)wikilovesfolklore.org. For any tools related inquiries/suggestion/complaints write us on tools(a)wikilovesfolklore.org Thank you for your dedication to the Wikimedia community. We look forward to seeing your contributions and the vibrant documentation of folk culture and feminism in folklore. Best regards, Isaac Chabota Kanguya Communication Officer on behalf the Wiki Loves Folklore International Team
