This is also the 125th birth anniversary year of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, the architect of India’s constitution. With this in view, the contest aims at enhancing the understanding of our constitution among the citizens, and at the same time inculcating a sense of citizen duties in consonance with the rights of a citizen.

Accordingly, MyGov introduces the ‘Duties of a Citizen’ contest. Citizens are invited to submit their ideas and suggestions that encapsulate the spirit of the constitution even as they draw up a charter of citizen duties.

Rules:
** The entries may be submitted in the form of essays, poems, slogans, graphics and videos.
** Participants are encouraged to submit original and innovative ideas. An idea, merely rich in detail but lacking originality, would not score more than a very innovative idea explained briefly. However, if a very innovative idea is also explained in detail, it will naturally score higher. An entry which encapsulates the entire gamut of citizen life would also score higher.
** Participants may submit their detailed entries as attached PDF documents, JPEGs, video films or link to Youtube videos, while giving a brief summary of their idea in the comments section.
** The top three winners of the contest will be awarded a certificate signed by the Prime Minister.

General Guidelines:

** Participants must be at least 18 years of age as on 1st January 2016.
** This is an individual participation contest and team entries would not be allowed.
** Participants must be Citizens of India and registered users of MyGov.
** The length of the essays should be limited to 1000 words or less while videos should not be longer than 5 minutes.
** Government of India (GoI) will have the copyright on all the entries submitted. By submitting an entry, the Participant(s) agree(s) to transfer the intellectual property rights to GoI.

Entry Last Date :
** Entries may be submitted online on mygov.in latest by 23.59 hours (11.59 pm) on 20th January, 2016.

Evaluation Criteria :
** The submissions will be evaluated on the criteria of originality and innovation in ideas, the breadth and width of the citizen duties envisioned and use of modern communication tools envisaged.
** Every entry would be evaluated on its own merit and while an idea explained in greater detail has greater salience, a merely detailed entry would not adversely prejudice another innovative and original idea or entry, but not explained in that greater detail, from being adjudged better.
