About Art for Awareness
Our mission
Make creative expression and meaningful recognition accessible to every Indian, regardless of age, school, city, or income. We believe a child's first encounter with a " competition" should feel safe, fair, and welcoming — not gated by entry fees or bureaucracy.
How we're different
Free for everyone
No entry fees, no hidden charges, no premium upgrades. Prizes and operations are
Certificate for every entrant
Every child who submits a drawing gets a digital Certificate of Participation. Not just winners. Effort is recognised.
Grade-based fairness
A Class 3 student is only judged against other Class 3 students. 16 separate grade categories from LKG to senior citizens.
Cause-based monthly themes
Each month is tied to a UN-recognised cause: World Environment Day, Mental Health Day, Human Rights Day. Art with meaning.
Themes integrate naturally with the art-integrated learning. Schools can plug us in directly.
Teacher-mediated submissions, minimal personal data, explicit guardian consent. Privacy first.

How it works (the short version)
- On day 1 of every month, we announce a new theme + the month's corporate sponsor
- For 25 days, participants of every age submit one artwork per person online
- An independent jury reviews entries within their grade category
- Public voting opens for shortlisted entries (3 days)
- Winners declared. Every participant gets a certificate. The corporate sponsor gets the impact report.
Who's behind the platform
Art for Awareness is run by a small team of educators, designers, and developers based in India. Our jury includes professional artists, art teachers, and topic-experts relevant to each month's cause theme.
We're committed to keeping the platform genuinely free, fair, and welcoming. Corporate partners who fund a month's prizes get visibility but never editorial control over entries or judging.
Your brand gets:
- Co-branding on every email, certificate, and gallery page for that month
- Detailed impact report — submissions count, states reached, social reach, school participation
- Eligibility under Schedule VII clauses (ii), (iv), and (v) of the Companies Act 2013

For schools
Teachers can submit on behalf of an entire class via a one-click bulk-submission link. Schools that consistently participate get a school-level recognition certificate. Email us to set up your school portal access.
