MyGov Arunachal Pradesh has launched a selfie contest inviting people to share their travel experiences from the state through photographs. The initiative, titled Explore Arunachal Pradesh, Capture Arunachal Pradesh – Selfie Contest, is open from 20 May 2026 to 30 June 2026.
The contest asks participants to take creative selfies at tourist, cultural, spiritual or scenic locations in Arunachal Pradesh. The idea is to use personal photographs to highlight places, memories and experiences from the state.
What the contest is about
According to the MyGov Blog, the contest is meant to showcase Arunachal Pradesh through the eyes of people who visit or live there. Participants can capture themselves at well-known locations, lesser-seen destinations or places connected to local culture and daily life.
The source mentions several places that reflect the range of travel experiences in the state. These include the Golden Pagoda, Sela Pass, Sangti Valley, Tawang Monastery, Ziro Valley and Dong Valley, which is known in the campaign description for its first sunrise experience.
The contest is open to people from across the country. It is aimed at travellers, nature enthusiasts and local residents who want to share what Arunachal Pradesh means to them through a photograph.
How to participate
Participation has been kept simple. Entrants need to visit a location in Arunachal Pradesh, take a selfie and submit it in the required format.
- Visit a tourist, cultural, spiritual or scenic location in Arunachal Pradesh.
- Capture a creative selfie at the location.
- Submit the entry in high-resolution JPEG or PDF format.
- Use the photograph to share an experience connected with the place.
MyGov Arunachal Pradesh has asked participants to send original and meaningful entries. The photograph should reflect the location and the experience, instead of being only a casual image.
Recognition for selected entries
The top 10 selected entries will receive certificates of recognition from MyGov Arunachal Pradesh. The source also says selected photographs may be featured on official social media platforms and in digital campaigns, with due credit given to the participants.
No cash prize or additional award details are mentioned in the source. Participants should therefore rely only on the stated recognition details while preparing their entries.
Tourism focus behind the campaign
The campaign is also linked with the broader idea of encouraging domestic travel. The MyGov Blog says the contest is aligned with the spirit of Dekho Apna Desh and is intended to promote local tourism in Arunachal Pradesh.
By asking people to share their own travel moments, the contest aims to bring attention to destinations, local traditions, communities and experiences in the state. The source also notes that tourism activity can support local homestays, artisans, guides, transport providers and small businesses.
For participants, the main requirement is to capture a clear and original selfie that represents a place or experience in Arunachal Pradesh. The entry window remains open until 30 June 2026.
