Axis Bank has opened entries for SPLASH 2025, its annual national competition in art, craft and literature for children aged 7 to 14. Submissions are open until December 31 through the official portal as well as select schools, residential complexes and bank branches.
This year’s theme, “Dreams,” encourages children to interpret their aspirations through two age-based categories. The Bank aims to reach more than 11 lakh participants through a mix of online and on-ground activities.
A jury comprising over 100 artists, educators and industry experts will evaluate the entries. Prize winners will receive ₹1 lakh, while runners-up will be given ₹50,000. Selected students will also take part in a workshop at Tashkeel, Dubai, and their work will be displayed at the Museum of Art and Photography in Bengaluru.
The Bank has introduced an AI-powered Dream Generator to help children transform their ideas into visual or literary creations. Last year’s SPLASH edition received over 9 lakh entries nationwide.
