How to participate

​

Its is a complicated two step process;

Design something and share it via Instagram or email

​

All you have to do is create a new image with a single Sinhala character

or a word or share something you have already done on Sinhala letters.

Try to represent the characters from a different perspective, nobody is watching over your shoulder, Go crazy!

​

Once you are happy with your work format it to;

Image size:  1080px x 1080px

Resolution: high quality

Don’t put anything else on the image; Like this

Upload it to your Instagram

​

​

If you have a story behind your work which you would like to share, make sure to mention it in your post caption (keep it up to maximum 100 words).

 

Tag our instagram profiles @letters.lanka  and @typography.lk
