sankethi koota - sankranthi get together. Here are the
instructions and rules for the competition.

1. The competition is open for children 5 years and
older.
2. The drawing has to be based on one of the following
themes/subjects:

1) "My favorite Indian festival..."
2) "My favorite Indian God..."
3) "An Indian Village scene"
4) "An Indian monument or place of interest"
5) "A scene from Indian mythology or history"

3. We will provide a sketch/drawing paper of about
11x14 and some pencils.
4. You have to bring your own supply of color
pencils/crayons/ water color/oil pastels etc.
5. The kids will be given 60 minutes to complete their
drawing and color it.

If your kids are interested in taking part in this,
please send me an email with their name and age. Let
us showcase our budding artists !
