"The International Creative Craft Contest (ICCC) 2006”, an initiative by Pidilite Industries Ltd., to recognise and reward excellence in the fields of Art & Craft was kicked off in the city today, with great fanfare and enthusiasm.
The ICCC will be held in four stages: School level, City level, Zonal level and the Mega final.
The school level round commenced today and the desire for creative expression and artistic prowess showed brightly in the eyes of the students as they crafted a jungle scene and jungle king theme. Also, present were eminent Art & Craft enthusiasts to encourage the students.
The contest is being conducted in over 5000 schools and 42 cities across India and 4 international locations – UAE, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka. The International Creative Craft Champion chosen will get an opportunity to visit an international location. The contest will provide an excellent platform for creative talent and the promotion of Art & Craft as part of the school curriculum for the all-round development of children; particularly, their cognitive, creative, spatial, motor and emotional skills.
The winners of the Mega Final will be announced in the following categories:
1. International Creative Craft Champion of the Year
2. International Creative Craft School of the Year
3. International Creative Craft Teacher of the Year
“The Creative Craft Contest gives students an opportunity to showcase their talent at the global level and win exciting prizes at the same time. This develops their self confidence, and gives them a direction to take art and craft as a career or skill for engineering, architecture and even surgery and accomplish higher goals.” Explained Sanjay Panigrahi, Chief, Sales & Marketing, Consumer Products, Pidilite Industries Ltd.
The contest is endorsed by the Department of Science & Technology, Government of India and co-sponsored by Britannia Industries.
