Awards
Select entries to the art program shall be accorded financial awards and will be put on display on this website. Only one award will be conferred to a participant for the best among the art works submitted by her/ him in an art category. There are four kinds of awards:
| Trailblazer | [Rs. 5,000] |
| Dreamspinner | [Rs. 4,000] |
| Mastercrafter | [Rs. 2,500] |
| Budding Weaver (only for age-group 15-17) | [Rs. 1,000] |
CMF art programs are NOT competitions. The entries are therefore not ranked as first, second etc.. Instead, a three-member jury is appointed to evaluate each art work independently on its own merit. Based on the jury’s evaluation, each of the select entries is graded in one of the above four award-categories.

AP 13 includes two art categories:
Opens on: Monday, 01 Feb. 2021
