Call for Wapuu
The WordCamp Delhi Team invites everyone to design a Wapuu for WordCamp Delhi 2026! This is your chance to put your creativity on display and add a new member to the beloved Wapuu family — whether you’re a seasoned illustrator or picking up a stylus for the first time.
What is Wapuu?
Wapuu is the beloved unofficial mascot of WordPress, first conceptualized during the WordCamp Tokyo 2009 after-party and brought to life by illustrator Kaneuchi Kazuko. Since then, almost every WordCamp around the world has created its own local Wapuu — and now it’s Delhi’s turn!
What Do We Need?
A Wapuu that best represents WordCamp Delhi 2026 — one that embodies Delhi’s culture, its monuments, or simply anything that says “Delhi” the moment you see it!
