The second edition of the RobinAge Bright Sparks Awards received an overwhelming response yet again. Our judges: artist Arzan Khambatta, poet Santhini Govindhan and RobinAge editor Cherry Divecha-Shethia all agreed that this year’s entries have raised the bar for the competition!
Many of the pieces we received were relevant to the times we live in. The works were creative, mature and reflective of young minds that are aware and attuned to the world around them. At RobinAge, we see this as a very exciting sign as it has always been our mission to create a generation of creative and conscious young citizens.
This year we added a new age category to the awards by inviting entries from students of class 9 and 10. We also selected three best schools, based on both the quality and quantity of entries that came in. Choosing the winning schools was the toughest task! Winners will receive certificates and trophies from RobinAge and toy hampers from Hamleys India. Toy hampers will be sent to winners’ homes in the coming month while certificates and trophies will be sent directly to winners’ schools in June.
