Talent Mania
Talent Mania, an enlightening educational program by Shining Souls, strives to foster new cultural partnerships, creative strategies, and artistic interventions that resonate with the social and cultural context. Committed to innovation, the Trust aims to support, promote, and create platforms for creativity, offering the wider public a distinctive source of modern contemporary art and culture. Foundation programs are initiated through innovative collaborations across various fields, using the arts to impact education, social initiatives, and community development, while exploring interdisciplinary connections to better understand the shared histories of the subcontinent. Talent Mania stands as the Trust's largest outreach platform.
The inaugural edition of Talent Mania, held on June 15, 2020, was a meticulously curated multidisciplinary event encompassing visual, performing, and culinary arts, as well as spaces for social and educational engagement. Curated by distinguished artists and institutional figures, Talent Mania went beyond being a mere showcase of outstanding Indian art, writing, and photography.
Talent Mania featured categories like "Art Paradised" with a Poster Making Contest and DIY Craft Contest, "Writers" with a Poetry Contest and Story Writing Contest, and "Picturesque" with a Mobile Photography Contest and Tech Memes, all embodying the motto "Talent is Everywhere; it only needs opportunity." The event timeline included the last submission date on June 15, 2020, and the announcement of winners on June 17, 2020, spanning three age categories: 6 to 12 years, 13 to 18 years, and 19 to 25 years. E-certificates will be distributed online to the deserving participants. Learn More
