Frequently asked questions

Is there an age limit?

No upper or lower age limit. We have categories from LKG/UKG all the way to senior citizens.

Do younger children (Class 1, Class 2) really get judged separately?

Yes. Class 1 only competes with Class 1, Class 2 only with Class 2, and so on. This keeps it completely fair.

Will the school be notified if a student wins?

Yes, we send the winner certificate to the registered email and a separate intimation to the school if school details are filled in.

Can multiple children from the same school join?

Absolutely. There is no limit on entries from any one school. Each student should submit individually, or the teacher can bulk-submit.

Does the competition accept digital art?

No. Every entry is drawn by hand on paper and submitted as a photo. Digital drawings and AI pictures are not accepted.

When do we get the certificate?

Within minutes of submitting, by email. It is a downloadable digital certificate. Results for this round are on 8 December 2026.

Is there an entry fee for the kids drawing competition?

No. There is no entry fee, no hidden charges and no payment required.

Can I submit a drawing for my Class 2 / Class 5 / Class 10 child?

Yes. Parents and guardians can submit on behalf of children. The competition has 28 separate judging categories across nine groups: Kindergarten (LKG, UKG), each grade from Class 1 to Class 12, College (UG, PG, Research Scholar), Corporate, Teachers, Principals, Artists, Others (under 59 years), Others (above 60 years), and Others (Autism) for autistic participants of any age.
