Hey little doodlers, dreamers & doers!
Do you like to squish your fingers into mud and clay, roll play dough into funny shapes, or swirl rainbows across the page with your paintbrushes?

Then this drawing competition for kids is just the perfect pick for you!
TERAVARNA India salutes the indomitable spirit of enthusiastic creators and budding artists in its JUNIOR Art Competition 2025 — an innovative call for art competition for kids and budding talents.
