Shankar’s International Children’s Competition 2020

K. Shankar Pillai (July 31, 1902-December 26, 1989) was a famous cartoonist. He brought out a political magazine called ‘Shankar’s Weekly’.

Children sent about 3,000 entries. The following year the competition was thrown open to children from all over the world.
