“Let the world see Bengaluru through your eyes! Get ready to showcase your artistic skills,’’ BIAL that operates the Kempegowda International Airport has said in a press release announcing the details of the contest.

It said, “In today’s world, we rely on maps that are available on our phones, so the aim is to provide unique maps that would guide travellers to experience the rich diversity of this vibrant City.
