The Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) under the Ministry of Home Affairs, in collaboration with MyGov, is calling upon the creative minds of India to bring to life a mascot that will represent CyberDost — the official social media initiative dedicated to raising cybercrime awareness and promoting safe digital practices.
This is your opportunity to create an iconic symbol that embodies trust, safety, and digital empowerment — a character that speaks to citizens of all ages about staying safe online.
About the Contest
CyberDost serves as a trusted friend in the digital world, educating users on the latest cyber threats and guiding them on how to stay secure online. The proposed mascot should be relatable, approachable, and easily recognizable—a digital buddy who can carry the message of cyber safety far and wide.
