Every child is an artist.
We give them a stage.
Indian Creative Talent is an online platform for creative competitions — art, drawing, photography, mehendi, rangoli and craft — open to participants from every corner of India.
Why we started
Talent is everywhere in India — in a small-town child who draws on every scrap of paper, in a teenager who sees the world through a phone camera, in a homemaker whose mehendi designs are admired at every wedding. But opportunities to be seen, judged fairly and recognised are not everywhere.
Indian Creative Talent was created to change that. We run simple, affordable online competitions that anyone can join from home — no travel, no queues, no connections needed. Just your creativity, a phone and an internet connection.
Every participant gets a verifiable certificate, and the best entries win cash prizes and a place in our gallery and Hall of Fame.
Our mission
To discover, encourage and celebrate creative talent across India by making high-quality, fairly-judged competitions accessible to every child and adult — regardless of city, school or background.
Our vision
A country where every creative spark gets noticed — where a child in a village and a child in a metro have the same chance to be recognised for their art.
Our values
Fairness
Clear rules, published judging criteria and independent judges for every competition.
Safety
Children's data is handled with guardian consent and never shown publicly without permission.

Qualified judges from the relevant art form score each eligible entry.
Scoring by age group
Where a competition has age groups, entries are compared only with others in the same group.

Judging criteria
Typical weightage — the exact criteria for each competition are listed on its page.
The judges' decision is final. Scores are not shared individually.
