Namaskar!

BMM Shala is pleased to launch a Digital* Calendar project for BMM Shala students. The scope of the project is to design a 2016 calendar using pictures drawn by Marathi Shala Students based on the themes given below.

The calendar will represent major Indian and North American days and events.

Guideline and Specifications

This project is open to all students of BMM Marathi Shala across North America.

Though this is not a BMM competition, local Centers will judge the artwork and send four (4) pictures per school **

It is recommended that local schools nominate a volunteer, who is not affiliated with the school, to judge the pictures. (Not a teacher or a parent)

The entries should be judged based on originality, craftsmanship, variety, composition and difficulty level etc.(See the attached Rubric )

The acceptable format for submission of the pictures is scanned .jpg with resolution no less than 768x1024

Final submissions should be sent to the Calendar Team no later than November 22, 2015

The calendar will be published in time for New Year. It will be made available via BMM website

Themes

Great freedom fighters of India.

Great saints of India. Sant Eknath, Sant Dyaneshwar etc.

Dance forms in India - Katthak, Bharatnatyam etc

Flowers and Fruits of India - Lotus, Jasmine Jaswand etc

Animals of India

Landmarks like Taj Mahal, Gateway of India

Indian feast items - Ladoo, Modak, Chakali etc

Indian Modes of Transportation - Rikshaw, ST (State Transportation)

Professions in India (Lohar, Kumbhar etc)

Indian festivals

We are looking forward to a great success story through this project; please encourage student participation from all age groups so that we have a collage of Marathi Shala Students skill-set all across North America .

Please let us know if you have any questions

Thanks!

* digital – since the pictures will be scanned and sent to BMM we are calling this as a digital project, using a computer software to create an artwork/drawing is not a acceptable format!

** what is a Center and what is a Shala? - for example – Detroit area runs 2 Centers (Canton & Troy) under MMD umbrella, so MMD Shala will send total 4 pictures selected from these 2 Centers.
