The “Glimpses of India” Painting competition is the annual painting competition organized in association with the Egyptian authorities. It is more than just a competition, it’s a bridge of interactions between India and Egypt.

Over the past 28 years, Maulana Azad Centre for Indian Culture in Cairo has been organizing this annual painting competition in various Governorates of Egypt.

The competition was held for the first time in 1994 with the main objective to inculcate interest in India and Indian culture among successive generations of youth in Egypt and thereby promote stronger people-to-people ties.

The Embassy of India will organize a prize distribution ceremony for the winners of the painting competition after its completion. A 3-member Jury will be constituted by the MACIC to select winners under different categories for each Governorate.
