LY Eminent Design Contest - ‘My Happy Place’


Winner: Sachi Shukla, Noida

“Participating in this contest was yet again a fun experience. This year's theme resonated with my inspiring thoughts and I decided to participate again. As a second-time participant, I wholeheartedly recommend that others try it. It is not only fun but also provides an excellent opportunity to test and showcase your skills to the world. The most important thing is the freedom to express yourself without constraints, which makes it an enriching experience that you can simply enjoy without worry!”

Have fun participating!

‘Doodle Your Dream’ September 2021

On the occasion of Doodle Day, we created a contest where we asked designers to bring back the childhood memories with doodling on/around a picture.

LY Eminent Design Contest - ‘Doodle Your Dream’


Winner: Sachi Shukla, Noida

"I saw this contest when I was on a break from work and it helped me clear my mind and get new ideas. To be a fantastic artist, you need not be great at drawing but consistent at it; no matter how bad your art is, you will get better at some point with practice & consistency. To everyone who wants to improve their art, I suggest you try participating in the Eminent contests. It is a great platform to try new things, and who knows you might even win something, just like me! :)"

Have fun participating!

‘2021: A Brand Of Hope’ December 2020

We created this theme for the December contest to end the year on a positive note in order to welcome the new one in all its glorious expectations.

LY Eminent Design Contest - ‘2021: A Brand Of Hope’


Winner : Avani Kale

" The contest idea of embedding the new year 2021 with a positive feeling as a brand of hope was great, especially after the tough times of last year. It triggered the imagination for designers like me and resulted in my minimalistic idea of Perception Shift Typography using the elements 2021 and HOPE, which is something that everyone in the world needs and will resonate with right now.

I am sure this contest has encouraged many aspiring designers. With LY Eminent we got a platform to present our ideas."

'When Life Gives You Lemons’ November 2020

On the special occasion of our parent company Lemon Yellow LLP turning 3, we created an open theme where the contestants could create in any medium they preferred, as long as it has 2 elements: Yellow & Lemon.

Winner : Shravani B

" I'm very thankful for the contest and having participated in it. The theme 'When Life Gives You Lemons' was exciting and I explored many ideas and I'd like to participate in more contests in the future. I enjoyed making the art and am very thrilled to have won it! Yay! The name 'Lemons' itself gives me chills. I feel like having a lemonade. :)

Thank you, Eminent!"

'Game of Cards’ September 2020

Lockdown brought back the old glory days for board games, and when we think board games, playing cards comes to mind. And as designers, we want nothing more to see those classic designs revamped. This contest was an attempt to see how the community envisions it.

LY Eminent Design Contest - ‘Game of Cards’


Winner : Apurva Vaidya, Vasai

"Participating in the 'Game of Cards' contest was an engrossing experience for me. My approach was to depict aesthetic values through graphical representation in my work. I believe Eminent is a great initiative by the team Lemon Yellow for designers. Every upcoming contest will definitely keep on motivating design thinkers. I am thankful for this appreciation. "

'What’s Your Angle?’ August 2020

Banking on the World Photography Day opportunity, we wanted to bring out the value and magic of real photography through this contest.

LY Eminent Design Contest - 'What’s Your Angle?’


Winner : Sanket kokate, Thane

" I got a huge opportunity to showcase my talent due to LY Eminent. I got a call and I was one of the shortlisted participants. The next day it was a really big surprise for me to find out that my photo was selected as the best photo for the contest. Thank you for the opportunity team LY. My experience was truly a memorable one. "

'Design Mindfulness App Experience’ July 2020

In these mentally challenging times, through this contest, we wanted to give designers an opportunity to turn mental well-being into a mindful experience.

LY Eminent Design Contest - ‘Design A Mindfulness App Experience’


Winner : Ruchira Biswas, Kolkata

" With LY, I got the opportunity to deep dive into the research and designing process of an app interface. Mindfulness in the current scenario is a necessary topic. Hence, I looked up the customer journey of the current apps to conclude that though there is a huge pool of users, most back out because of lack of credibility, subscription feature,etc. Keeping that in mind, I designed an app which not only builds the connection with the user & but also enhances the experience. This was one of the most learning experiences that I had in UI since I started off a few months back. And during my interaction with the people from LY, it challenged me to think and strive more."

'Life of a Designer’ June 2020

Everyone’s life is a movie in itself so why not create its poster, this contest was intended to bring out the design star hidden in every designer and show the world that their movie is a box office hit.

LY Eminent Design Contest - ‘Life of a Designer’


Winner : Archit Agarwal, Mumbai

"The thought is that, in creative business, one needs to churn fresh ideas every time and there is no specific formula to get an amazing idea. As a creative producer, the need to come up with constant new creative produce is very important. Surprisingly I have got the best of ideas when I was doing the most important yet gross thing, taking a dump. So, my life story is creating a masterpiece while shitting. It's a comedy movie with lots of fun."

'Life after Lockdown’ May 2020

With the current scenarios being tough, this contest was with a motive to spread positivity through your creative visualization.

LY Eminent Design Contest - ‘Life after Lockdown’


Winner : Shivangi Gupta, Gujarat

"Great Thought, Great People
Lock down has been a very skeptical period for all of us, and everyone has realized the worth of humanity. Life now will not be the same and there will be a new normal. The idea of the competition was based on the same thought and it actually made me think on life post lockdowns. It was a really nice thought and it really helped me look beyond our current pity problems. It broadened my vision about both life and people. The people of Lemon Yellow LLP were also very good to work with. Really happy and honored to be a part of it."
