If you're a designer, artist, student, or creative enthusiast in Dehradun, here's an opportunity to turn your ideas into cash. The Mussoorie Dehradun Development Authority (MDDA) has launched a state-level Mascot Design and Slogan Competition 2026, inviting citizens to create the authority's official mascot and tagline.
The competition will run from August 3 to August 16, 2026, and aims to encourage public participation while creating a mascot that reflects MDDA's vision for urban development, citizen engagement, and public awareness.
Participants must submit an original mascot design along with a creative slogan online in JPEG, PNG, or PDF format. Each entry should also include a brief note explaining the concept behind the design. AI-generated artwork is not eligible, and entries will be judged on creativity, originality, and how effectively they can represent MDDA across different platforms.
The competition offers attractive cash rewards, with ₹50,000 for the winning mascot, ₹30,000 for second place, and ₹15,000 for third place. The best slogan or tagline will receive a separate ₹10,000 prize.
MDDA officials have encouraged students, educational institutions, artists, and creative professionals across Uttarakhand to participate. If you've been looking for a chance to showcase your talent while winning prize money, this is one opportunity you won't want to miss.
