CB BureauIt’s a drawing and essay writing contest and part of Splash 21, a virtual event being hosted by Axis Bank for children in the 7″14 years age group. There are two themes: for 7″10 years old children, it’s ‘together we can’, and for the 11″14 years group, it’s ‘a better tomorrow’. The participants can choose to submit entries in drawing or essay writing, or both.
Regarding the initiative, the bank’s chief marketing officer Anoop Manohar says: ‘We aim to reach out to every child in India who aspires to dream big. We have got great feedback on such events in the past and look forward to big-scale participation for this one from little ones all across the country, which will help us see the world through their lens.’
This year, Splash also empowers individuals to contribute towards the education of kids impacted by Covid-19. The aid will be directed to Khushii, a child-care NGO founded by well-known cricketer Kapil Dev. Axis Bank will also contribute Rs 10 for each registration.
Axis Bank has invited educationalists and mentors from top schools and institutions to be a part of the jury for the competition. The top 2 national winners, one from each category, will be awarded a scholarship of Rs 1 lakh; one runner-up from each category will win a laptop; and all participants will be given digital certificates. Moreover, 100 shortlisted contestants will get an opportunity to receive guidance from six highly-qualified mentors from The Art Society of India, and will also be awarded gift hampers.
Those interested can register and submit their entries from 6 December 2021, at www.axisbanksplash.in.
