With nearly twenty years of existence on the world wide web and no plans to retire any time soon, Africanhiphop.com remains one of the main points of reference for news, discussion & info on urban African music on the web. Since making money was never the prime goal here, we have always worked with volunteer contributions. Currently we are looking for new volunteer contributors to the site who are ready to commit themselves to helping expand the content section and forums.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We need content contributors as well as new moderators for the forums. Other skills such as radio making, graphic design or knowledge of WordPress or PHPBB are also welcome. These contributors can live anywhere around the world, as long as they fit the profiles below and are able to come up with unique African hip hop related content.<\/p>\n

These are NOT paid jobs, if you respond to this call we assume that you are dedicated to the development of the pan African hip hop scene and want to contribute towards the growth of this site and the organization behind it.<\/p>\n

Being part of the content team is certainly prestigious and will look good on your cv. Good contributors will grow along with our organization and will benefit from the network and opportunities that arise.
\nAs a radio presenter or writer, you will have your own profile on the site and an author blog that highlights the content written by you.<\/p>\n

If you’re interested to contribute, please get in touch using the contact form<\/a>, explaining how you expect to contribute, and how you fit the profile. Each candidate will get a reply within a few days.<\/p>\n

These are the profiles of our ideal candidates. If you do not fit the profile entirely, you may still respond.<\/p>\n
