About 25 prizes were presented on that day, including primary, secondary and public categories with individual and group entries respectively. We also presented the awards for the Drawing and Coloring Competition. We truly appreciate the efforts made by all contestants, including the 350 contestants in the preliminary round competition. Learning a language is never an easy task and it is a life-long challenge.
