🏆 Announcing the Winner of the India Food & Arts Festival 2026 Logo Contest! 🐅🇮🇳

We are thrilled to announce that the winning logo for the India Food & Arts Festival 2026 has been designed by Avni Ohri! 🎉

Avni’s design beautifully captures the spirit of India through a creative blend of culture, art, and tradition. Here is the inspiration behind her winning design, in her own words:

“My design features a tiger with one half of its face filled with different elements of Indian culture. I have a mandala design that can often be seen in the henna done by the artists of India. I also have traditional Indian dancers and Indian instruments such as the Veena and tabla. These elements aim to highlight the artistic presence that has come out of India.

In the fully colored logo, the Tiger’s face is filled with many colors, however on one half of its face, there is just orange, white, and green, meant to symbolize the flag of India.”

Congratulations, Avni, on creating a logo that will proudly represent the India Food & Arts Festival 2026!

A heartfelt thank you to our esteemed judges for taking the time to thoughtfully review each submission and helping us select the winning design:

* Andrea Gueveria
* Sangita Shankarnarayan
* Katyaini Sriram
* Samruddhi Deshmukh
* Priya Boopathy

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who participated in the contest. Your creativity, passion, and love for Indian culture made this competition truly special.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you all at the India Food & Arts Festival 2026 on September 20th at Scissortail Park! 🇮🇳🎨🍛🎶
