We are happy to announce the results of the Shiksha School National Level Art Competition, where students from all states and various schools (both online and traditional) have participated. We received more than 800 inquiries, of which many have sent in their submissions before the deadline, and though it was hectic to go through all the artworks, we gave careful attention to them all. Also, we are sorry to reject those which are not submitted before deadline and also which are off topics.
We have picked up the best entries, yet, we would appreciate every student participating in the competition. The appreciation also goes to the parents/guardians who have made time for their children to inform them and guide them to participate in the contest.
We have observed that every child is creative, and doing things their way lets them express themselves. It is impossible to judge each of them based on their talents; therefore, we have ranked the entries based on relevance, originality and creativity.
Amendments: As we have received a high number of creative submissions for Category A, UKG-class 1, we have decided to make UKG and LKG as Category A Part 1 and Grade 1 as Category A Part 2. Also, we are happy to announce 2 consolation prizes for the UKG-LKG group.
