The competition organised by village leaders in Bibipur, Haryana attracted nearly 800 entries from all over the country.
Winners were declared on Friday and received a trophy, a certificate and prize of 2,100 rupees ($316; Â£199).
Haryana has one of India's lowest gender ratios, with 877 women for every 1,000 men. This, say experts, is the result of illegal sex-selective abortions, female infanticide, parental neglect and discrimination against girl children.
Here we show some of the selfies as well as images taken by photographer Mansi Thapliyal, who travelled to talk to some of those who participated in the contest.

Police officers and veterinarians had chased the animal around the course near Toki city in the central Gifu prefecture for hours.
It ran into the lake shortly after it was shot with a tranquiliser dart.
The animal died despite being pulled out within minutes. Officers said it had likely drowned and that its heart had stopped.
The two-year-old male zebra was owned by a mobile zoo, reported the newspaper Mainichi Shimbun, but was being housed at the Mikuni West Farm, a local stable and riding club.
On Tuesday evening, farm managers were bringing in the zebra for the night when it became agitated, trampled the paddock fence, and escaped, fleeing towards a nearby mountain.
By early Wednesday morning police were receiving reports of a zebra running along a highway.
They quickly tracked it to the Toki International Golf Course, where veterinarians and police tried to catch it.
It ran into a lake shortly after being darted.
"We pulled it out, but its heart had stopped," said police spokesman Takahiro Taniguchi, saying it had likely drowned.
The unusual story quickly became a talking point among Japanese netizens who expressed shock and sadness on Wednesday, with the Japanese word for zebra "shimauma" trending on Twitter.
Many retweeted a photo by a girl who said she had spotted the animal galloping down a road on Tuesday night and expressed surprise at spotting "a zebra in the forest".
A village in India recently held an unique contest to raise consciousness about girl children: click a selfie with your daughter and win a prize.
