The 16th edition of The Hindu Young World Painting Competition for students is slated to be held on December 11 in Mangaluru. The Hindu has been organising this competition for 15 years now.
The event will be held at the Centre for Advance Learning (CFAL) near Plama Residency, Bejai Kapikad.
While students from Class 4 to 6 will showcase their creativity in the ‘Junior’ category, those from Class 7 to 9 will compete in the ‘Senior’ category. Nearly 400 students have already registered for the event so far.
Students should report at the venue by 9.30 a.m. The competition starts at 10 a.m.
While drawing sheets will be provided at the venue, students have to bring their own painting material. Participants should avoid the use of sketches or markers. The topic for both categories will be announced on the spot. The prize distribution ceremony will be held on the same day at 1 p.m.
Prabhakar Rao, Director-Works, Mangalore Chemical & Fertilizers, will be the chief guest. Every participant will receive a participation certificate.
Apart from the first three prizes in each category, there will be a number of consolation prizes.
This year’s event is presented by Thyrocare. The Centre for Advanced Learning is the associate sponsor of the event. For details, call 9980771213 or 9448279124.
