Wapuu Design Contest for WordCamp Finland 2023

We are inviting all the Finnish WordPress community members and enthusiasts to participate in the Wapuu design contest for the WordCamp Finland conference, which will take place in Tampere on 14–15 September 2023.

What is Wapuu?

Wapuu is the official mascot of the WordCamp conference. Each conference would typically have a custom Wapuu character designed for the event. You can see examples on WAPU.US website.

Where Wapuu would be shown?
