Commons:Wiki Loves Africa 2020/jury

The international jury is a made up of professional photographers and committed Wikimedia Commonists. This year's jury was compiled and arranged by Isla Haddow-Flood by approaching previous jurors and inviting new jurors (who had been suggested by Anthere and other members of the Wikimedia Community). Erina Mukuta assisted with the Montage setup and liaison across the 4 rounds. The initial cleaning round was conducted through the assistance of 35 Wikimedians (50 volunteered originally). We thank them for being part of the First Review team.
