Art is one of the ways students are invited to express their perspective on tourism and the places around them.
Entries are judged in each district — Galle, Matara and Hambantota — and first, second and third places are selected in every category.
A special award for the Most Popular Art Creation is chosen by public vote or social media popularity across all submissions — so students’ work reaches a wider community.
