  1.   Support, This is a very good initiative for Bangladesh. There are so many monuments here as this is one of the historical ground with lot of heroes and events from it's glorious history. Some of the monuments are not in good condition. I think this initiative can catch the eye of people to care about those precious moments, person and history.

  2.   Support, The competition will increase quality image of Bangladeshi monuments and users are also encouraged to contribute in wikimedia commons. Ibrahim Husain Meraj (talk) 03:21, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
  3.   Support, This WLM is much needed and long waited one. We need this drive to not only just for WLM but also to make an awareness and inspire a habit of uploading/share pictures under open license. There are lots of articles there which doesn't have quality images or any images at all. I definitely support this. - Tarunno (talk) 10:11, 11 July 2016 (UTC)
