The Cell for IPR Promotions & Management (CIPAM) under the aegis of the Department of Industrial Policy Promotion (DIPP), has launched a logo and tagline/slogan contest for Geographical Indications (GIs) of India on MyGov.in website, an official statement said here on Wednesday.
"This contest is an opportunity for creators who aspire to see their creation recognized on a national platform. The last date for receiving entries is 17th November, 2017. The winning entry will receive a cash award of Rs 50,000 each, for logo design and slogan for GIs of India," the statement said.
A GI is primarily an agricultural, natural or a manufactured product (handicrafts and industrial goods) originating from a definite geographical territory. Typically, such a name conveys an assurance of quality and distinctiveness, which is essentially attributable to the place of its origin.
The DIPP is also working with state governments to spread awareness on GIs.
