Description - The youngest of the Bengali Wikimedia projects, "Bengali Wikiquote," had been progressing rather slowly since its launch in August 2022. However, our annual Quote Competitions completely transformed this trajectory. Between the 2024 and 2025 editions, our community created 1,518 new entries. Today, out of the 2,214 total entries on the project, almost 69% are the direct result of these two competitions. More importantly, these events have brought in new, active contributors to our project. To keep this incredible momentum going, we are organizing the competition again this year and kindly request a banner for the event.

• I have created the banner (preview) and the campaign. I’ve made some updates to ensure the banner is mobile- and dark-mode friendly. @MS Sakib, please review and confirm your approval so I can proceed with enabling the campaign. ~ Yahya (talk • contribs) 10:42, 23 March 2026 (UTC)

  Hi @Yahya I noticed the campaign was set to run for only one day, so I’ve adjusted it and re-enabled it :-) best Soylacarli (talk) 19:46, 1 April 2026 (UTC)
