Logo and Tagline Competition for Tibetan Digital Library
About the Tibetan Digital Library Project:
The Tibetan Digital Library is an initiative spearheaded by the Department of Religion and Culture under the program ‘Strengthening Cultural Resilience of Tibetan Communities’ funded by USAID. Functioning as a digital repository, the Tibetan Digital Library (TDL) preserves Tibetan cultural heritage, encompassing manuscripts, Thangkas, statues, videos, audios, and other intangible resources. The goal of the program is, Ensuring cultural continuity of the Tibetan community through the digital preservation of ancient Tibetan manuscripts and artifacts and other intangible cultural resources in a secure, sustainable and accessible Digital Library.
Logos serve as a visual representation of an organization or company, aiding instant recognition and conveying its identity. Similarly, the tagline is used to communicate the essence of the organization, highlight its unique features or evoke a specific goal of the organization. For the Tibetan Digital Library, logo and tagline are essential components for the digital repository, as they are crucial in establishing a strong brand identity. These elements will also be instrumental for the consortium’s official documentation, such as letterheads, rubber stamps, and branding.
Rather than entrusting the creation of the logo and tagline to a specific individual, DoRC initiated this competition to engage number of youth’s talent in this project as well as better awareness on the Tibetan Digital Library among them. This competition is open to all Tibetans, including monasteries, nunneries, schools, and the Tibetan community. The selection will be done by the working committee with consultation from the advisors and the three best submissions will be awarded with a cash prize, where the best submission will be finalized as the official logo and tagline of the digital repository. All the participants are requested to submit required document, application form and designed logo and tagline before February 29, 2024.
