The competition is open for students of classes six to nine. The entries can be about the magic of hands, say a mother’s hand gently patting the child or the mudras of a dancer. Twenty students can participate from one school. The students also need to give a title to their painting by writing a few lines about what made them draw it. The last date for submission of entries is February 12.
Top 50 paintings will be selected by a panel of eminent judges. The shortlisted students will then attend an authentication camp where they will reproduce their paintings. The winning school gets Rs. 5 lakh as prize money. The best talent gets Rs. 20,000 as the prize and 49 others would get Rs. 10,000 each.
These 50 paintings will be published in a book, titled Magic Of Hands , along with the title and names of the artists and their schools. This book is to be released at the Congress.
