[Wikimedia-l] Call for Participants; 2024 Afrosport Writing Contest.
Hello everyone,

Free Knowledge Africa is organising a contest; The 2024 Afrosport Writing
Contest!

Whether you're passionate about football, athletics, traditional games, or
any other sport, this is your chance to showcase your creativity and love
for sports.

Afrosports is an African games and sports writing contest on Wikipedia.

There is a huge content gap on the internet/Wikipedia as regards contents
on African Sports in English and other Languages.

This contest aims to bridge the African Sports content gap on Wikipedia by
writing articles about the historical and contemporary African Sports Scene
focusing on the English Wikipedia and 5 African languages; Wikipedia
(Igbo, Hausa, Yoruba, Swahili and Kinyarwanda.)

This is another opportunity to promote sports in your local community,
write about the favourite games and sports you grew up playing, translate
sport related articles on wikipedia to your local languages, or anything
related to the Sports scene in your country, join us on this exciting
venture!

Come join us on the 15th of March in The Afrosports Writing Contest. There
are amazing prizes to be won and also there will be training sessions.
