To mark World Earth Day, The Hindu Future India Club (FIC), in association with ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India (AM/NS), will organise a poster design contest and an earth science project contest for school students in Visakhapatnam on April 22 (Wednesday).
The event will be held on the second floor of the iconic building at Visakha Valley School. Students from across the city and surrounding areas are eligible to participate. Schools are required to shortlist and nominate their participants.
The competitions will be conducted in two categories: Junior (Classes V to VII) and Senior (Classes VIII to X). A maximum of six students per category from each school (12 in total) can participate. Participants must report at the venue by 8.30 a.m. in school uniform and carry valid identity cards. Participating students must bring their own drawing and painting materials.
The junior category will work on themes such as ‘Save Water’ and ‘Be Kind to Nature’, while the senior category will focus on ‘Clean Earth, Green Earth’. The contest will feature a single round for paintings and charts, followed by a science project exhibition.
Students may bring recent projects for display, clearly marked with school and class details. The top three entries in each category, along with three consolation prizes, will be awarded. Finalists will compete on stage for top honours, followed by a prize distribution ceremony on the same day. The judges’ decision will be final.
