Competitions and Presentations
Artistic disciples are youth-oriented, where school intern or extern appeal to the creative potential of students. Intern entries are devised in class under the guidance of special subject teachers or group leaders while extern entries are conducted in workshops under artists, educators and leading professionals.
While participants take part under their own names, they represent their schools and thus, schools get a chance to showcase their profile and special projects as well. A specialized jury elects the winner in every disciple and then the prize gala celebrations are concluded.
