Commons:Wiki Loves Africa 2020/Zambia

Wiki Loves Africa is an annual contest where anyone across Africa can contribute media that relates to that year's theme to Wikimedia Commons for use on 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 and is chosen by the community from universal, visually-rich and culturally-specific topics (for example, markets, rites of passage, festivals, public art, cuisine, natural history, urbanity, daily life, notable persons, etc).

This edition of the contest focuses on "Transportation". This is was the second edition in in Zambia. The physical response to the Wiki Loves Africa in Zambia poor but the online response was wonderful. A training and upload sessions plus awareness campaigns were held in Lusaka and on Facebook. An editathon was held at the University of Zambia.
