Dehradun, In an attempt to reach out to the citizens of Dehradun, the Dehradun Smart City Limited (DSCL) is holding Doon Wall Painting Competition, 2019.
The theme for the inaugural edition of the competition is completely in sync with Uttarakhand showcasing the hill-state’s Heritage, Culture and Wildlife.
The online registration process is already in place and close to three-dozen artists have already taken keen interest in the Doon Wall Painting Competition from the hill state.
The Coordination Team at DSCL has made it easy to reach out and provide additional information apart from answering queries of interested candidates.
Talented artist Mukesh Negi who has been bringing alive the walls of Rishikesh with his murals for years now, recently filled the online registration form, tells us, “it will definitely be a wonderful experience working shoulder to shoulder with artists from various walks of life. I am looking forward to now putting paint to the drab walls of our state capital.”
A dedicated 30 feet wall is the canvas for willing artists, with no fixed time limit. Thus far a dozen painters, young men and women, aged between 18-30, armed with their pallets, colour and brushes have set about showcasing their talent at Darshan Lal Chowk and the Yamuna Colony.
Talking to Newspost, Ganesh Pandey, DEO said, “enthusiastic candidates are filling forms and we are overwhelmed by the response. The Best Wall Painting will be judged by a Committee comprising of senior officials from the Dehradun Smart City Limited and be felicitated on 26th of January, 2020.”
While the winner walks away with 75,000/- as First prize, 2nd prize is for 50,000/- and the 3rd prize for 25,000/- . But there is something for everyone, as all participants will receive a certificate of appreciation for bringing Dehradun’s listless walls to life again.
Those interested can register online before 13th December 2019:
