Poster-Making Contest

🖌️ Poster Making Contest

Event Description

The Poster Making Contest invites student-artists to creatively express mathematical ideas through visual art. Participants combine color, design, and imagination to portray this year’s themes—reflecting how mathematics connects with creativity, hope, and everyday life. This event highlights artistic talent while promoting a deeper appreciation of mathematics as both a science and an art.
