Welcome to the wonder of Wiki Loves Africa, an annual themed photo contest which aims to re-balance the lack of visual representation and content that Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons hold about the continent. Over the last five years, Wiki Loves Africa has inspired the donation of nearly 50,000 photographs that depict the life of people on the African continent, with themes including cuisine, fashion, music, and dance. In this year’s contest, held across six weeks, over 1,300 people uploaded just under 9,000 images and other media that represented what “play!” meant to them.
