Design WAPUU for WordCamp Ahmedabad 2023!

Hey, creative minds of the WordPress community!

WordCamp Ahmedabad is back with its 4th edition, and we’re super excited to announce an amazing opportunity for all you talented designers and artists out there. We’re on a mission to create a brand-new, quite literally out-of-this-world WAPUU for WordCamp Ahmedabad 2023, and we want YOU to be the one to bring it to life!

If you are wondering What’s a WAPUU?

WAPUU is the official mascot of WordCamp events. It’s this cute and lovable character that represents the spirit of the WordPress community. Each WordCamp event can have its own special WAPUU, and it’s all about adding a local touch and some creativity to this beloved mascot.
