The Image format is jpg/png square format 1080px X 1080px.

Please remember that we will only be accepting a square size format submission for posts. If you send your submissions in another format, such as portrait or landscape, we will either crop your artwork (which we really don’t want to do), or we will not accept it as a valid submission. When sending video or motion design entries please send them as a Gif or short video clip.

Please send in your submissions only on it’s corresponding day. As an example: On day 6 the assigned letter is ன. Therefore we kindly ask you NOT to send all your letter submissions at once or NOT to send an artwork for an upcoming day. It would make the selection process difficult for the team and would lead to unnecessary confusion.

We challenge you to create your own new and exciting
interpretation of the given Sinhala or Tamil letter.
Please DO NOT use an existing font. Submissions that use existing fonts will be disqualified from entering our library of submissions.

You can simply design the corresponding letter of the day and you are part of our global community! If you would like us to feature and add your creation to our collection you can submit it to us through any of the following channels,

Through Instagram
Through Facebook
Through email

Please note only to submit your content through one
of the platforms, not all of them.

Please upload your submissions to your Instagram profile and make sure it’s uploaded on its corresponding day. Make sure to tag us @30daysakuru on your artwork directly and always add the project hashtag #30daysofAkuru in your post caption; as this is the only way for us to identify your artwork and allow others to see it.

We will be ONLY reposting the submissions that have either tagged us on the image or posted with #30daysofAkuru hashtag!

If you are planning to submit your artwork through instagram messages please send us your name, the submission title and caption (if have any) and please add the #30daysofakuru hashtag as well.

We strongly encourage you to participate by designing all 30 Sinhala and Tamil letter characters, but you can also participate for a few days by designing selected letter characters or one letter character. It’s all up to you to decide what to do, but make sure to check the #30daysofAkuru calendar.

From all the submitted entries, we curate and post a selection of artworks on our social media profiles (Instagram- @30daysakuru, Facebook @akurucollective and Twitter @akurucollective) related to the project on a daily basis. Selection is done by a group of members of Akuru Collective who are designers, typographers and fellow letter lovers. There is no concrete criterion or a limit on the number of curated posts. We are looking for original, exciting and interesting entries that push the boundaries and we try to feature as much work as we possibly can. Remember, as mentioned before #30daysokuru is not a competition and it is meant to be a celebration and your participation is the most important factor. This daily selection is NOT a competition of any sort and please do not get disheartened if your work was not posted on a given day.

Daily submissions – We do selections twice a day. Afternoon/ evening and definitely just before midnight (+05.30 IST). We are not able to repost your submission right away. But DO NOT worry. If you have submitted according to our given guidelines your submission will not be missed out.
