An Isprieth Academy National Initiative | Open to Students of Grade 1–12
Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the world faster than any technology before it — how we learn, work, travel, and even how we care for the planet. The 12th All India Level Drawing Contest 2026 invites students across India to explore this defining force of our era through art: How is AI helping the Earth? How might it be harming it? What kind of future do we want to build with it?
This isn’t just a drawing contest — it’s an opportunity for your students to think critically about the world they’re growing up in, and express that thinking visually on a national stage.
