The Maldives Monetary Authority (MMA), the nation’s central bank and financial regulator, has announced an exciting opportunity for local creatives, artists, and designers to play a direct role in shaping the visual identity of the country’s future digital economy. A nationwide competition has been launched to design the official logo for Payment Maldives, a newly established entity that will be responsible for managing the Maldives’ core payment infrastructure and driving innovation in the financial services sector.
Through this initiative, MMA is calling for designs that capture the essence of Payment Maldives’ mission: delivering secure, inclusive, and forward-looking financial services that empower consumers, expand opportunities for businesses, and accelerate the nation’s journey toward a fully digital economy. The winning design will not only become the official logo of Payment Maldives but will also be awarded a prize of MVR 30,000.
Interested participants must submit their entries via email to [email protected] before 14:00 hrs on October 16, 2025. Registration details and full competition guidelines are available on the official MMA website. To guarantee impartiality, the evaluation process will be conducted anonymously, ensuring that each submission is judged purely on its creativity, originality, and ability to represent Payment Maldives’ values.
As the sole authority overseeing monetary policy and financial sector development in the country, MMA plays a central role in modernizing the Maldives’ economy. Its initiatives have consistently aimed at strengthening financial stability while creating opportunities for innovation. By establishing Payment Maldives, MMA is taking a further step toward improving accessibility, efficiency, and security in everyday financial transactions across the nation.
This contest is more than a creative exercise, it symbolizes the country’s commitment to integrating design, technology, and financial progress. For designers and artists across the Maldives, it is a rare chance to leave their mark on the national stage by contributing to the identity of an institution that will be central to the country’s digital transformation.
