Presenting their talent, 5,340 students had participated in the fun competition. Free Press on the spot painting competition, an open and unbiased platform to budding artists in Indore, was organised digitally, due to covid-19 omicron outbreak.

All rights and decision taking authority regarding painting competition rests with the Free Press.

The winners names have been sealed pack for now, until, Free Press decides to declare the winners and invite them to our campus for a felicitation ceremony. The decision to disclose and invite winners will be made considering the spread of covid-19 in the city.
Categories of Competition
The competition was organised for students of Class I to XII. It was held in three categories: Group A for Senior KG to class III, Group B for Class IV to VII and Group C for Class VIII to XII students.
Group A: Focus on completing the picture
Showing signs of a true artist, some students in Group A not only painted the picture with gorgeous colours, but also transformed the sheet into a canvas and paid attention to background and completion of the artwork. Many participants lost on the same aspect, as they had a beautiful concept, colour and contrast, but lacked at commitment to the painting. They failed to complete the picture.
“Parents should ensure that their kids have a concentration level and are taught to complete their tasks especially art,” judges Monika Lagoo Solanki and Rahul Solanki said.
Group B: Focus on approach & conceptualization
Some concepts were repeat. Students in this category must work on their innovative ideas instead of copying ideas.
Approach of subject is very important. Focus on understanding then conceptualizing the idea or theme on the canvas.
“Figures are equally important as background work, so it is a good idea for students to practice both the aspects,” suggested judges Rajeev Waingankar, Prabhat
Joshi and Ankit Hardia said.
Group C: Subject Orientation is Important
Some works were impressive but many lacked focus on the subject. Efficient use of background was commendable as commented by judges.
Some internet or classroom arts had a similar pattern. Those who stood apart had unique ideas and their own creations.
“Analyse the subject and approach it with your ideas, subject orientation is important,” Mohit Bhatia, Shriram Jog and Arun Mourya said.
