The preliminary round of competitions was held in two categories – Juniors Class 4 to 6 and Seniors Class 8 to 10. The topic for the junior category preliminary round was ‘Walking your pet’ or ‘A flower show’ or ‘Shopping with your parents’ and for the seniors the topic could be chosen from ‘Watching a painting competition’, ‘A green drive – planting trees, segregating waste or cleaning the beach’, and ‘Sunday mornings at home’. The response, as usual, was overwhelming from both the categories.
