INTERNATIONAL ONLINE MUSIC AND FINE ARTS COMPETITION 2020

SRI ANNAI KAMAKSHI KALAIKUDAM and SRI ANNAI KAMAKSHI MUSIC AND FINE ARTS COLLEGE (Affiliated to Tamil Nadu Music and Fine Arts University) announce the International Online Music and Fine Arts competition 2020, celebrating our 25th Anniversary, an initiative to promote Music and Fine Arts during these difficult times and to raise funds for COVID-19 Relief.

In these uncertain times when universities and schools are shut down, classes are cancelled and exams are postponed, we believe the arts give us hope. We may have more time to ourselves in the coming weeks. As we isolate from the world, let’s turn this into an opportunity to break away from the routine of our everyday life and explore our innate creative language.

You are invited to participate in the International Online Music and Fine Arts competition 2020. A platform for the brightest talents to put their skills to the test and win exciting prizes.
