Participants are allowed to take help from parents and teachers in collecting the resource material.

But the final product - essay, poster or collage - must be prepared by the students themselves.

A certificate from the head of the institution to this effect should accompany each entry, absence of which will disqualify the entry.

Essays not exceeding 2,000 words may be prepared in English or Malayalam.

Posters should be done in watercolour or poster colour on white art paper or card.
