Futurescapes painting contest for students from Classes 3 to 12
JSW PAINTS, in association with The Hindu Young World, has announced the Futurescapes Painting Competition 2022, where students from Classes 3 to 12 can showcase their artistic abilities across a range of themes.
The competition will have preliminary, zonal and final rounds. For the sub-junior category comprising students from Classes 3 to 5, the topics for the prelims are ‘Tourism in India’ or ‘Save Nature’. The junior category for students from Classes 6 to 8 can present artwork on the topics ‘India: The land of culture’ or ‘Gender equality’. For senior classes, students from Classes 9 to 12 have been given the topics ‘My vision for India in 2050’ or ‘Preserve our wildlife’.
For registration and instructions, the students can log on to ywc.thehindu.com/jswpaints and complete the process by uploading a clear scanned copy of their painting and generating a Unique Registration Number.
This should be written on the drawing sheet with other details and the physical drawing should be sent to the nearest office of The Hindu, as chosen during the online registration process. On the front of the sheet, the Unique Registration Number and topic should be written and on the other side, participant’s name, class, school name (with branch), city, State, category of participation, parent’s name, and registered email ID and mobile number should be written.
The last date for online registration and submission is February 28. The painting should reach The Hindu office by March 3. If a participant qualifies for the finale, the date and details will be intimated through the registered email ID. In case of any queries or clarifications, call R. Deepu at 9447717983 between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m.

Selected from 9,400 submissions across 37 countries, the 100 photographs on display traverse intimate and political terrains.
