Last year KASHISH started an
exciting initiative which became a worldwide competition – the Poster Design
Contest for KASHISH. Celebrity fashion designer Wendell Rodricks picked the
winner – S.Ayyappa, a young student from Andhra Pradesh whose colorful
butterfly theme became the official poster and his design was splashed on six huge
billboards across Mumbai as well as other promotional materials. He received
his award from none other than Oscar winning sound designer Resul Pookutty (of
Slumdog Millionaire fame)
Here’s your chance to be the
poster boy or poster girl of KASHISH 2013!

KASHISH 2013 will be held from
May 22-26, 2013 in Mumbai. Now, you can be a part of the festival by designing
its official POSTER, wherever you are in the world. The design will also
feature on billboards, print and online advertisements, catalogue cover,
banners, cinema slides and delegate cards.
Submission deadline –
January 31, 2013. Entries will be judged by an eminent panel of artists and
designers and the winner will be picked by a Celebrity judge! Winner will be announced during the Mumbai
Pride Week.
Theme: Towards Change
The Indian LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) landscape is undergoing a sea change since 2009 after reading down of Sec 377 by the Delhi High Court – with more openness from the society towards same-sex loving people. More youngsters are coming out to their families, coming out to friends and colleagues; they are living lives without masks. Pride parades are being held in all the big cities; there are cultural events like film festivals, book readings, panel discussions, photography competitions, etc; several organizations are being formed and But the Supreme Court verdict is being awaited, and the question on everyone’s lips is - has the change percolated to the smaller towns?
KASHISH 2013 will reflect this spirit of jubilation and will also question its overall impact within the LGBT communities and in the mainstream society with its theme – ‘Towards Change’.

Volunteering With Kashish
KASHISH- Mumbai International Queer Film Festival being held between April 22nd to April 25th, 2010 in Mumbai promises to be four days of non-stop queer celebration across many platforms of artistic expressions.
Apart from over 80 Indian and International films, the festival has a range of allied activities - exhibitions, book launches, Q&A with filmmakers, panel discussions and of course parties! The festival expects to draw a huge audience from queer as well as non-queer community during its events spread across multiple venues in Mumbai.
We are looking for volunteers to work both before and during the festival. Volunteering for KASHISH can be a great opportunity to meet & interact with people and get involved in something momentous!
Volunteers are very much the face of the festival. They meet and greet audiences and guests, they assist by - answering questions, helping to run venues, acting as interpreters, distributing publicity materials, working at the festival office, writing for festival newsletter, and being part of the festival documentation team.
