Wiki Loves Africa is an annual public contest where people across Africa can contribute media (photographs, video and audio) about their environment to Wikimedia Commons for use on Wikipedia and other project websites of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Welcome to the Wikimedia Commons portal for Wiki Loves Africa!


Wiki Loves Africa particularly encourages participants to contribute to media that illustrates a specific theme for that year. Each year the theme changes and could include any 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). The project is run across the whole continent. However, some specific actions (training, communication, etc.) are held in some countries with national organizers.

  • Over 116,189 images have been entered by 9,182 competitors from up to 55 countries under a free licence (CC-BY-SA).
  • Wiki Loves Africa images have illustrated 32,515 pages across 437 Wikimedia projects, such as Wikipedia, Wikivoyage and Wikiquote.
