The Shankar's All Kerala Painting/Cartoon competition is held in the memory of the world famous 'Cartoonist Shankar'. Born in 1902 at Kayamkulam, Kerala as Sankara Pillai, he worked in Bombay Chronicle, Free Press Journal and Hindustan Times. He also published a magazine called Shankar's Weekly. He received several national and international honor's and awards such as Padma Sree, Padma Bhushan, PadmaVibhushan, Order of Smile etc. In 1949 he started a Painting competition for Children, which was the first of its kind in the world. That was the beginning of Shankar's Painting Competitions. Shankar also started a unique museum for dolls. He died in the year 1989. Shankar's painting/cartoon contest is held in 100 countries all over the world. Nearly 2 lakh children participate in the contest every year. We have been conducting this festival of drawings and colors at Kottayam for the last thirteen years. Mr. Ravi, son of Shankar, will be present at the event. |
