This Ganesh Chaturthi, Growel’s 101 Mall took the celebration of Lord Ganesha to new heights with the Eco-Friendly Ganapati Contest, a fully digital event that brought together the spirit of the festival with a commitment to sustainability. In a modern twist, participants showcased their eco-friendly Ganesha idols and décor through online submissions, creating a platform that made it easier for everyone to join in while promoting environmental consciousness.

A Digital Celebration of Sustainability

The Eco-Friendly Ganapati Contest invited participants to design and display their eco-friendly Ganesha idols and home décor, all while reducing the environmental impact of traditional celebrations. The contest was entirely digital, allowing participants to share their creations conveniently through online forms and images uploaded to our website.

• Submit Your Creations: Contestants submitted photos of their eco-friendly idols and décor through an easy-to-use online platform. This fully digital format allowed everyone, no matter where they were, to participate in the celebration.
• Judging and Selection: A panel of expert judges, comprising environmentalists and artists, carefully selected the top 20 entries from all submissions. They evaluated creativity, use of sustainable materials, and adherence to eco-friendly principles.
• Two Exciting Categories:
  • Eco-Friendly Idol: Entries featuring Ganesha idols made from biodegradable materials, such as clay or natural colors, were judged for their sustainable and artistic value.
  • Eco-Friendly Décor: Participants who created eco-friendly decorations for their homes using recyclable or natural materials were also recognized for their creativity in bringing the festive spirit to life while minimizing environmental impact.

Honoring the Top 3 Winners

From the top 20 entries, the judges selected the top 3 winners in each of the two categories—Eco-Friendly Idol and Eco-Friendly Décor. These winners were celebrated for their exceptional creativity, eco-conscious choices, and devotion to making the festival both beautiful and sustainable.

• Prizes and Recognition: The top 3 winners in each category received exciting eco-friendly prizes, including green products and eco-conscious gift vouchers, as well as the honor of having their creations showcased at Growel’s 101 Mall during the Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations.
• Public Appreciation: The winning entries were also displayed digitally across the mall’s social media platforms and website, allowing the wider community to appreciate the efforts of these talented and environmentally-conscious participants.

Promoting Eco-Consciousness

The Eco-Friendly Ganapati Contest not only focused on celebrating the festival in a sustainable way but also played a crucial role in spreading awareness about environmental issues and the importance of adopting eco-friendly practices.

• Educational Messaging: Throughout the contest, Growel’s 101 Mall promoted the idea of reducing the environmental footprint of the festival by encouraging participants to avoid using harmful chemicals or non-biodegradable materials.
• Social Media Engagement: Participants and visitors were encouraged to share their eco-friendly creations on social media with the hashtag #EcoGanapatiGrowels101, sparking conversations about sustainability and inspiring others to follow suit.

A Green Festival, A Greener Future

The Eco-Friendly Ganapati Contest was a beautiful fusion of tradition and sustainability, encouraging the community to celebrate in a way that honors both Lord Ganesha and Mother Nature.
