The Mylapore Times’ Deepavali Lamps design contest attracted a limited number of entries. Of them, six stood out for the creativity of the people who designed the space for the festival.
Some used rangolis/kolams for their design, some used colour paper and fresh mango leaves, some others used flowers like people do in a pookalam.
All of them created the designs using lamps, some lit, some unlit.

The judge for this contest chose six designs for prizes provided by Nithya Amirtham and Mylapore Times. The prizes were handed over to the winners at their homes.
These are the winners –
Latha Suresh of Greenways Road Extension. R A Puram.
Varalakshmi Bhaskaran of Musiri Subramaniam Rd, Mylapore
Sowmiya Venkat of Chitrakulam North St., Mylapore
Venisha Gopalakrishnan of Jeth Nagar 1st Main Road, Mandaveli
