“Paharighum” by Arpan Sadhukhan .
“Good ideation and conceptualisation which showcases surrealism both in poetic narrative as well as in the visuals .Beautiful usage of mixed media.”- JURY
“Black and White” by Pallab K. Roy.
“Good display of effort through the hand drawn art….use of traditional illustration style is eye catching. A little more subtlety was expected in showing the suicide scene.”- JURY
“Green” by Puja Kar.
“A beautiful graphical story, accompanied with digitally painted illustrations. Grammatical errors in the text could have been better avoided. Appears to be a plastic story told in a plastic way.”- JURY
“Self Love” by Sananda Ghosh.
“A good story with an educational quotient…that self love can be weaponised to fight pressure, shame and failure.”- JURY
“পরিস্থিতি” by Sanchita Dhara.
“Very nice effort…portrayal of symbolic characters we all know is well illustrated. At the end one wonders is not the jungle society more saner than the human ones?”- JURY
“Gahon Ghor” by Tanusree Naskar.
Budding Weaver Award ( For the first timers only)
“Untitled” and “Unfamiliar” by Meghna Naskar.
“This comic book format has a jarring effect. Use of traditional illustration style adds up to it, grabbing more attention. Beautiful hand painted watercolor and ink illustrations..”- JURY
“To reimagine and give the characters shapes inspired from ancient Greek art is very interesting. Cacophony in the matter of silence is appreciated.”- JURY
