Winners of Art Competition

Soham Foundation organized an art competition in December month themed “Our Environment," in line with Soham’s commitment to green energy with hope to inspire young, rural talented artists, aged 9 to 16, from all their foundation supported rural schools. The Competition’s goal was to increase environmental awareness and action among youth. A number of proficient students participated with great enthusiasm and expressed their imaginations beautifully on the paper and also suggested different ideas for conservation of environment by illustrating their own personal view of the environment – their wishes, hopes and fears.

The best painting from each school was taken and 12 winners were chosen by the judges .These 12 paintings are featured in Soham Foundation’s 2017 desk calendar so that everyone can see the environment through the eyes of children. These 12 students are to be awarded a cash prize of INR1000/. The judging panel was also very impressed with all the other young artist's design ability and the inspirational message associated with the picture so the balance of 32 paintings are to get a nice school bag as token of encouragement . All 44 children will be receiving Certificate of Merit & Participation from the trustees of Soham Foundation.
