A drawing competition for students will be held on August 4 at the Khulna Shishu Academy to mark July Uprising Day, jointly organised by the Khulna district administration and the Bangladesh Shishu Academy. The competition will begin at 11:00 am, and participants will have one hour to complete their drawings. Participants will have to bring their own drawing materials, while the organisers will provide only drawing paper. Students may participate directly without prior nomination.
The competition has been divided into four categories: Group A (Classes I-IV) on an open theme; Group B (Classes V-VII) on the July Uprising; Group C (Classes VIII-X) on the July Uprising; and Group D (children with special needs) on an open theme. This competition aims to engage students in creative expression while commemorating a significant historical event.
July Uprising Day, observed on August 4, marks a pivotal moment in Bangladesh's history. The uprising, which took place in 1975, was a critical event leading to significant political changes in the country. By involving students in a drawing competition, the organisers hope to foster an understanding and appreciation of this historical milestone among the younger generation.
A discussion and prize-giving ceremony will be held at 11:00 am on August 5 at the Khulna District Shilpakala Academy auditorium. This event will provide an opportunity for students to showcase their artwork and receive recognition for their efforts.
The Khulna district administration and the Bangladesh Shishu Academy have worked together to ensure that the competition is inclusive and accessible to all students. By providing drawing paper and allowing direct participation, they aim to encourage creativity and historical awareness among the youth.
