The Ministry of AYUSH invites concepts and designs for the Mascot of the International Day of Yoga (IDY) which is observed annually on the 21st of June.

Since the year 2015, when the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) took the historic decision to declare 21st June as the International Day of Yoga, this day has been celebrated all over the world with a lot of enthusiasm. With the demonstrated benefits of Yoga towards immunity building and stress relief, there is a necessity to utilize the occasion of the International Day of Yoga to reinstate these benefits in the minds of the people.

Therefore, the Ministry of AYUSH has taken the decision to announce a Mascot for the IDY on the eve of IDY 2021 observance and invites entries for a Mascot design and name from all Indian citizens, agencies, and interested organisations within India.

The last date for submission is 31st January 2021.

The prize for the winning entry: Rs One Lakh only

The result of the competition will be announced by the 25th of February 2021. In case of any delays due to unforeseen circumstances, any updates to the competition timeline, terms, and guidelines will be communicated through the MyGov platform and/or the official channels of the Ministry of AYUSH.
