Bharatpedia:Trimester Oriticle Writing Edit-a-thon 2024

Trimester Oriticle Writing Edi-a-thon is an international oriticle (original article) writing online marathon, to be organized at Bharatpedia annually in a trimester (three consecutive months) of March, April and May to document different topics, including but not limited to art and culture, economics, politics, science and technology, of different regions of Bharat (India) and its neighborhood nations (including both terrestrial neighbors as well as maritime neighbors). This project is also extended to photography campaign Bharat Loves Photographs (BLP) as well, which is going to be organized on the Bharatmedia, to document pictures of the same topics mentioned above.

The basic aim of the competition is to collect articles on the free encyclopedia Bharatpedia.

The articles provided must match the theme, which means that most users will be able to find several pertaining subjects close to the themes of that area. You are free to choose an article from a topic of your own provided it is in relation to the main theme. It also brings forth diverse knowledge for user consumption.

Please submit your articles here. Articles submitted elsewhere will not be accepted.

Results will be declared here later. So, please keep it in your watchlist or check it frequently once the event gets ended.
