Share Your Struggle LogoShare Your Struggle 2021 (15 August 2021 - 15 September 2021) is a public photo competition on Wikimedia Commons. The goal of the project is to improve coverage of free usable media files related to various struggles, such as, natural disasters, health crises such as COVID-19 pandemic, social movements, conflict-torn areas, and any other humanitarian crises. The goal is not only to document crises, but also humanitarian efforts and acts of kindness that happen during such crises. The scope of the project includes images and video files. Please check the participation rules to further understanding.
Note: This campaign does not in any manner promote any of the above-mentioned or related forms of crises and any other forms of violence and harm. It is an effort to improve freely-licensed media related crises, such that people around the world understand them better. This is the first iteration of this campaign, and we would like learn from this pilot plan for further years, so feedback and ideas are very much welcome on the talk page.

Scope

Though they are still problems and cause people to struggle, they are not part of the scope for this iteration. Again, feedback and thoughts are welcome on the talk page.
