Wiki Loves Africa Logo

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).

The theme Climate and Weather calls for the submission of visual representations of Climate and Weather. The theme celebrates the diversity and unique climatic conditions of the beautiful places we represent. Images, videos and audio clips can capture the environment, waterfalls, soil type, rainfalls, deserts etc.
