Winner of KASHISH 2015 International Poster Design Contest

*Drumrolls*

Revealing the winner of KASHISH 2015 International Poster Design Contest. The winner is NIHARIKA RASTOGI, art director from New Delhi. Her design was chosen from 122 entries from 38 countries by celebrity fashion designer Padma Shri Wendell Rodricks

Speaking about the winning design, Wendell Rodricks said, "The winning poster was very cinematic in its visualization. There is a calm without the shrill in terms of excessive colour. It is what we need today to communicate the LGBT cause. It reaches out to everyone without a sexual barrier. Anchoring the base in the city of Mumbai is another plus. This is a poster that truly opens the LGBT door to embrace every person by reaching out with a hand and touching hearts via cinema".

KASHISH Mumbai International Queer Film Festivalcongratulates the winner who will be awarded Rs.20,000 cash prize and trophy at KASHISH 2015 (May 27-31, 2015)

An equal society without stigma and discrimination is a shared responsibility.

The Indian LGBT movement is at a crucial time in its history, where it is fighting an unjust law - section 377 of the Indian Penal Code - that criminalizes the community. It is important to broad-base this struggle and build alliances across race, class, caste, religion, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation to challenge prejudice, change attitudes and create a society that allows each person to live with love and dignity.
