Your Kukur Tihar Reel Could Win Rs 100,000 Prize
Your Kukur Tihar video could earn you a Rs 100,000 prize. Nepal Tourism Board has announced the Kukur Tihar Reel Contest 2026, inviting creators to capture the festival’s spirit and the bond between people and dogs. Entries close on November 21, 2026.
The competition encourages original storytelling around one of Nepal’s distinctive festival traditions. Creators can capture dogs receiving tika and marigold garlands, or share everyday moments that reflect their love, loyalty and companionship.
Kukur Tihar honours dogs as part of Nepal’s Tihar celebrations. The contest offers a way to introduce this tradition to international audiences through short videos.
