Winners will receive scholarships and the chance to have their artwork displayed in a public gallery, highlighting the cultural significance of reading in contemporary youth. The foundation emphasized that such interdisciplinary projects foster critical thinking, imagination, and community involvement, while also providing tangible support for students pursuing both academic and creative endeavors. Participants are encouraged to submit entries by the deadline set for next month, with judges selecting works based on originality, interpretation, and visual impact.
