Dear all,
We are thrilled to announce the winners of the Wiki Loves Bangla 2025
photography contest!
This year’s competition brought together *191 participants*, who
collectively submitted over *1,800 photographs*—each capturing the stunning
diversity of the birds of Bengal.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the winners and express our
gratitude to all contributors for sharing their remarkable work under free
licenses. Your efforts have not only enriched Wikimedia Commons but also
made freely reusable visual knowledge more accessible to the world.
Notably, the contest illustrated *421 bird species*—a significant milestone
in documenting the region’s avian biodiversity. It also produced 12+
featured pictures, 197+ quality images, and 1 valued image—a testament to
the extraordinary standard of submissions.
Thank you to everyone who participated, supported, or helped make this
initiative a success.
