.... the brain is not a vessel to be filled,
It is something to be IGNITED

THIS YEAR'S THEME OF THE
BURNING BRAIN POSTER COMPETITION WAS:

ill effects and consequences of Tobacco/Smoking.

It is always wonderful working with young people. Working on social issues always prove that the youngsters are sensitive to the surroundings and think about them. This time again the concern of the young people reflected in their work. We received posters from the states of Punjab, Haryana, J and K, Himachal and Chandigarh in response to the call for entries. All the posters were appreciable and worth winning prizes.

The judges had a real tough time making the selections for which the final criterion was originality of the idea, depiction and relevance to the theme, age of the participant and the artistic style of the work. Since someone had to be declared winner so we are bowing to the wishes of the judges and declaring the results, but this in no way means that the other entries received by us are any less, they are as dear to us and as important as are the prize winning entries. We wish them all the best for the next competition.

Thank you all for supporting a "Tobacco Free World."
