The competition, part of the ‘Art Street’ initiative, invited students to present their visions for “Coimbatore in 2030,” with cash prizes totalling ₹22,500 awarded to the top entries. A panel of six judges selected the winners, and the top 100 artworks will be displayed at Art Street on Scheme Road, Race Course, on November 30 and December 1. The event also featured a canvas painting workshop organised by Kreationary, where students received art kits valued at ₹2.5 lakh.
