Heritage Lens Fellowship
Heritage Lens Fellowship is a fellowship provided by the Deoband Community Wikimedia to sustain its Heritage Lens initiative. It ensures smooth and convenient participation of our fellows in achieving the goals set for the initiative. The fellowship generally includes local logistics support and an occasional equipment support.
Eligibility criteria
The fellowship does not require you to be a professional photographer or someone with a photojournalism degree. It is open to any knowledge-sharing enthusiast in India who is interested in making knowledge free. However, basic photography skills and a passion to learn are a must.
Responsibilities of a fellow
Our Heritage Lens Fellows primarly engage with Wikimedia Commons and the place from where they are documenting the heritage. Their responsiblities include:
- Travelling and Capturing Heritage
- Uploading on Wikimedia Commons under a CC BY-SA license
- Rightly categorising the images
- Submitting a Learning Report at the end of the fellowship
