In March 2023, the Municipal Corporation of Dehradun organized a remarkable month-long wall painting competition under the theme “Love for the City Dehradun.” A total of 36 groups of artists participated, turning public walls into vibrant canvases that showcased the city’s culture, heritage, and environmental beauty. The event not only beautified the city but also engaged citizens in creative expression and civic pride. To recognize the talent, the top three winners received cash prizes of ₹40,000, ₹30,000, and ₹20,000, while seven others were awarded ₹5,000 each, making it one of Uttarakhand’s most engaging and large-scale public art initiatives.
