It is open to students residing in the southern States of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana, along with the Union Territory of Puducherry. Entries for the preliminary round must be submitted by March 10.
The topics for the competition for the sub-junior (classes 3 to 5) category are ‘dream home’, ‘family picnic’, and ‘my favourite animal’. For the junior category (classes 6 to 8), the topics are ‘favourite festival’, ‘fun with family’, and ‘wildlife safari’.
