Applications are open for DCW's Heritage Lens Fellowship. Apply by July 18, 2024.

If you are passionate about sharing knowledge through photography, we welcome you to apply for our Heritage Lens Fellowship. As our Heritage Lens initiative enters its fourth iteration, we are seeking creative enthusiasts based anywhere in India to join us. Through Heritage Lens, we aim to provide freely licensed media, including images showcasing Muslim heritage, on Wikimedia Commons.

Our fellowship offers local logistical support to facilitate your participation. It is an exciting opportunity to actively engage within the broader Wikimedia movement. You will gain insights into the copyright ethics, especially in the context of navigating Wikimedia Commons. Although no formal certificate is provided, the fellowship promises an immersive experience that will fuel creativity and redefine the boundaries of conventional learning.

To apply, kindly email our Program Lead at aafi@dcwwiki.org before July 18, 2024, with the subject line "Heritage Lens July 2024 Fellowship Application", and make sure you attach some images that you have captured. Selected fellows will be notified by July 30, 2024.
