Wiki Loves Bangla 2025 Winners!

In the Wiki Loves Bangla 2025 photography contest, 191 participants submitted a total of 1,800 photographs. After a two-stage review by the evaluators and a three-stage assessment by the jury, we are delighted to announce the final winners!

Many of the submitted photographs beautifully captured the rich diversity, stunning beauty, and fascinating behaviour of the birds of Bengal. As always, selecting just ten winners from so many outstanding entries was both challenging and time-consuming.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the winners and their outstanding photographs. We also express our sincere gratitude to all participating photographers, as well as to the judges, reviewers, and organizers who made this contest a success.
