The MV Drawing & Coloring Competition 2024 was a very successful event. We received an overwhelming RSVP response for this event.  

This competition was sponsored by Mr. Chetan Wattamwar of Reliant Insurance Agency.  

The competition was held on February 10, 2024, at the First Presbyterian Church of Matawan, NJ. We implemented a smooth two-step check-in process and color-coded age group seating arrangement.  

The competition ran for two hours, and all the participating children did an excellent job in showing their creativity and imagination. We had arranged for the parents to wait in the building and enjoy refreshments. This was a wonderful opportunity for parents to mingle with other families in the community.  

Each participant received a certificate of participation, a small token gift, pizza and juice box. Our judges for this event were – Neelam Padte and Swaroopa Gadgil. Both are recognized artists with their own unique style. 

Winners will be announced during MV Vasantotsav, to be held on April 28, 2024.  We wish to thank our team of enthusiastic volunteers; without their help it would not have been possible to run this event smoothly.  

Please enjoy the event pictures. This event was led by MVBODs’ Dipti Karkhanis and Vrushali Bhawtankar.
