**Project Contributions**

We have had project contribution from the artists within our community as part of our metabolism for interaction, resource sharing and collective leverage

**Logo creation**  
The logo of our community is shown below even though we are yet to upgrade it to the renaming of our community

 ![P.D Photography Community compress-min (1)](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/gov_near/original/3X/d/7/d73615ab657653cdb88ff2f532b43d4810d22bff.jpeg)

**Community Building**

We have organically nurtured a community which the metrics are as outlined as below

Telegram: [Telegram: Contact @TheUbuntuFellowship](https://t.me/TheUbuntuFellowship) 20 members

Instagram: [The Ubuntu Photography Fellowship (@ubuntu\_fellowship) • Instagram photos and videos](http://Instagram.com/ubuntu_fellowship) : 24 followers

medium: [medium.com/@pdphotographycommunity](http://medium.com/@pdphotographycommunity)

**PhotoMerchandise Creation /advertising and selling**  
We have used project contributions from the community to create inspirational materials like wall frames and murals that correlate with the mantra of the Fellowship. These materials are on percentage split on sales between the artist , the models and the fellowship. Sales have been made which were on individual ad channels we werent able to track and upload proof here… but they are merchandise that the fellowship has been involved with selling lately

Examples are below
