The Contest in Detail
Logo Competition:
We invited our younger community members to design a logo that reflects Marathi pride, incorporating elements of learning, cultural festivals, and the love for the Marathi language within the American context. The challenge was to visually represent our mission to promote Marathi culture and unity among the diaspora in the Central Valley.
Why a Tagline Competition?
