This annual event, a highlight in the college’s calendar, aims to engage students creatively in environmental advocacy, with this year’s focus being on pollution and pollution control. Conducted on Google Classroom, the competition facilitated broad participation.
The contest required students to create visually compelling and informative posters that either raised awareness about pollution or promoted ideas on how to control it. The response was overwhelming, with numerous entries showcasing a diverse range of styles, interpretations, and messages. Each submission was evaluated on its originality, relevance to the theme, artistic quality, and the impact of its message.
