FME Community Bingo is back for 2026!

From August 10-31, join FME users from across the Community for another round of Bingo β€” featuring new challenges, community activities, and plenty of chances to win prizes.

Complete tasks across the FME Community to fill your Bingo board. Every square you complete earns you an entry into our prize draw, with bonus entries up for grabs along the way!

Here’s how it works:

  • Complete challenges across the FME Community (click a square to reveal the task)
  • Earn squares on your Bingo board (red = incomplete, green = complete, blue = community task)
  • Each completed square = 1 entry into the prize draw
  • Earn bonus entries for completing rows or forming the X pattern

The more squares you complete, the more chances you have to win!

Play to win:

  • First place: $250 Everything Gift Card
  • Second place: $100 gift card
  • Third place: $100 gift card
  • Plus four virtual badge awards

Ready to play? Visit the FME Community Bingo page to get started!Β 

The contest runs through August 31, 2026.

A special acknowledgement πŸ’™

FME Community Bingo was originally brought to life by Mark Ireland, a longtime member of the Safe Software team and FME Community. Mark was always finding fun, imaginative ways to bring people together, and we’re proud to continue one of his many creative Community ideas in his memory.

A big thank you as well to ​@LizAtSafeΒ for bringing this year’s Bingo board to life, and to ​@creeatsafeΒ for helping dream up and contribute to this year’s challenges. It takes a community to make Community Bingo happen!

Good luck, and happy Bingo! πŸŽ‰

          There may be a bug in the logic for Square 5 unless you need to complete all QOTW’s before they update...just wondering

              Happy Friday Summer Bingo Support Team !

              Unless I am missing something, I think there is a bug in the QOTW logic. If one had previously posted an answer to the QOTW a new one will not trigger the QOTW bingo square task complete. Does this hold true?

              Thanks again for putting this together. I always enjoy Safe’s contests.

                Hi ​@crutledge! You have to respond to the new QOW that corresponds with the bingo square. For this week, it is this question (square 5):Β

                  ​@crutledgeΒ My apologies, I missed a page in the API when I originally fixed it. You should have the square now. Thanks for letting us know.

                                Hello,

                                I’m having issues with the Training on Demand getting marked as completed. My FME Academy login is the same as my FME Community login and I did get the private message saying I earned my Accelerator badge.

                                Also thanks for Bingo! It’s been fun!
