Summer 2009

Thank you to all for participating in Kahani’s Fourth Annual Young Writers and Illustrators Contest. The challenge this year was to write a 500-word short story that creatively incorporated the words fever, mountain, and peacock into the plot. The top two stories then had to be illustrated. The winning writers and illustrators are:

Illustrators
1st - Nirali Bhagwati Igoe (6-8) and Maya Varma (9-11)

Writers
1st - Maya Desai Fiore (6-8) and Ananth Shastri (9-11)
2nd - Avni Singh (6-8) and Anisha Agarwal (9-11)
3rd - Devika Tiwari (6-8) and Vaed Khurjekar (9-11)

See the work of the 1st place winners in the upcoming issue of Kahani called Going Green. Thanks to writer Sandhya Nankani and artist Ambreen Butt for judging this year’s Contest. Read what the judges had to say. And here are the Honorable Mentions.


We are already planning the next three words, so watch this space when we announce the new contest later this year!
