Wiki Loves Africa is an annual contest where anyone across Africa can contribute media that relates to that year's theme to Wikimedia Commons for use on Wikipedia and other project websites of the Wikimedia Foundation. Wiki Loves Africa encourages participants to contribute media (photographs, video and audio) that illustrate the specific theme for that year. Each year the theme changes and is chosen by the community from universal, visually-rich and culturally-specific topics (for example, markets, rites of passage, festivals, public art, cuisine, natural history, urbanity, daily life, notable persons, etc).


For Wiki Loves Africa’s 2021 theme, we intend to take a positive view of where we are and how we can be into the future. If nothing else, 2020 brought to the fore the importance of our health and wellness. Not only ours, but how our health systems and personal wellness affect those around us - people we know and love, and the complete strangers who we come into contact with whilst working, shopping, walking from one place to another.


The theme for Wiki Loves Africa 2021 is to visually interrogate all those factors that contribute to health and wellness. What is the difference between health and wellness? Health is seen as the state of physical, mental and social well-being in which disease and infirmity are absent, whereas wellness is the state of living a healthy lifestyle through enhanced well-being.


This edition of the contest focuses on "health and wellness". This is was the second edition in Botswana. The physical response to the Wiki Loves Africa in Botswana poor and the online response was very low too. The Wiki Loves Africa Botswana 2021 launch and training and upload session was held at the University of Botswana.
