Covidesta 2020 Contest Results Declared
COVIDESTA 2020 – THE COVID CAMPAIGN
Covidesta is a campaign initiated by KCG College of Technology, Chennai to salute the contributions of the frontline warriors like doctors, nurses, policemen, ambulance drivers, sanitation workers and many more heroes who are fighting against Covid 19. With time all of us will forget their selfless contributions in saving our lives.
We have started this campaign to make memories of these super heroes through our art & craft. The winning dolls will be created as souvenirs to be sold as mementos and gifts with the creator’s name credits. This fund will be used to honor the real covid warriors. Tsunamica is a doll iconic with tsunami relief and Chekutty is a doll iconic with Kerala flood Relief. Through this campaign we plan to create mascots of covid warriors and make our little contribution to these warriors.
