Hi, May I know if we can change the background of the 'payunglah' part of the design? Like changing it to another colour or including the design on that part too?

Hi Nurin Aida, participants shouldn't make any changes to the umbrella's color, as the designated blue color (#253b6e) will be used for printing on the organizer's products (the shared umbrellas). Additionally, the design should remain within the designated zone (green zone) to avoid overlapping with the "PayungLah" logo.

Note: We have updated the guidelines. Please read this topic again.

Happy designing!!

hi, does the designated blue color (#253b6e) you mentioned is similar to the blue color in the template? because i think the colour code you give is slighty lighter compared to the one in template. According to the template, the blue colour code is (#163261).

Thank you and happy to know the winning artists will be recognized because to be honest, the price amount offered is considered very low in my personal opinion. Therefore, including the attributions is much appreciated in this matter. A boost and great motivation to all artists especially local artists like me. Thank you!
