Wiki Loves Pride is a global campaign to expand and improve LGBT-related content across all Wikimedia projects, in all languages. Most activities of Wiki Loves Pride take place between June and October, traditionally the months when lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities around the world celebrate LGBT culture and history. The photography contest at Wikimedia Commons is an opportunity to document and visually showcase LGBT+ culture around the globe. First-time edit-a-thon organizers may find this page helpful. Placeholder for photography component of Wiki Loves Pride 2019, modeled on Commons:Wiki Loves Love 2019.
Older photographs are very welcome too, as long as you were the person who originally took them.
You are also invited to win prizes in the Art Writing Contest and the Health Writing Contest!
Concept
One of the aims of Wiki Loves Pride will be increasing the number of people and perspectives contributing to LGBT information on the site, as well as encouraging institutions to add their authority information, research, and images to the public domain. Contributions to information about LGBT topics in politics and policy, medicine, topics in identity sexuality, and society, rights and attitudes, history, culture, and institutions will vastly affect the ways in which these topics are researched and understood internationally. In the past, Wikipedia articles on these topics have been riddled with a lack of scholarly sources and lack of perspectives, a problem which has the effect of skewing public perceptions and affecting research and decisions in public policy, science and medical practice, and community acceptance.
There will be a variety of winners based on different categories of submission.
Timeline
The contest will run from 19 June 2019 (00:01 UTC) - 10 July 2019 (23:59 UTC).
