Commons:Wiki Loves Africa 2024

Out of the millions of subjects you can read about on Wikipedia, those that relate to Africa have the least coverage. This is due to a number of reasons, but some are linked to the fact that many people do not know that they can have the knowledge of their continent and cultures reflected on Wikipedia by donating their images, videos and audio to Wikimedia.
The richness, diversity and beauty of Africa deserves to be visually celebrated on Wikipedia.
YOU can help to do this. Its super simple and everyone is welcome to participate!

The theme Africa Creates calls for the submission of media (photos, audio, video) representations of the process of creation or manufacture, and not on the final product itself. If the final product is featured, please do not make it the central focus of the image or video.
