Opinion of the Jury
The Jury of the MKMA met on 1st April 2015 at the Gallery and went through the entries. It was very gratifying to see that the competition is getting entries from all over the world, from countries as far as Serbia, Croatia, Iran, Cyprus, Italy and Macedonia. The quality of the entries was very high, particularly in the International section. The best entries from India are also excellent, original in conception, consummate in craftsmanship.
The Jury expressed their appreciation of the work done by Mr. V.G.Narendra [Managing Trustee, IIC] in making this an International event.
[ The Jury includes Mr. Girish Karnad, Noted playwright and actor, Mr. S.G.Vasudev well known artist and Mr. B.G.Gujjarappa, senior cartoonist.]
