The World I See — Open Art Contest
The brief
Make one piece of art that shows the world the way you see it.
Any medium. Pencil, crayon, paint, ink, collage, digital — whatever you actually work in. A four-year-old with a wax crayon and a professional illustrator with a tablet are both answering the same question, and both are judged only against others their own age.
There is no required subject. Your street, your grandmother's kitchen, a dream, a feeling, something you cannot photograph. We are looking for work that could only have come from you.
Submit a clear photograph or scan of the piece. Do not sign it, watermark it or write your name anywhere in the image.
Prizes
₹21,000 across 3 age divisions
Each division is judged and ranked entirely on its own. A four-year-old is never scored against an adult.
Your judges
Who will score your work
Judges see the work and nothing else — no name, no age, no handle, no follower count.
The panel is being confirmed
We publish every judge’s name and credentials on this page before entries open, so you know exactly who is scoring your work before you pay anything.
Scoring
How you will be marked
Published before entries open, so you know what you are judged on.
Each judge scores independently and cannot see the others’ marks. When results publish we also show how closely the panel agreed.
