This initiative has been a part of Landmark Groups ongoing corporate social responsibility where young artists have an opportunity to showcase their talents.

Mr. Saibal Basu, Chief Operating Officer of Landmark Group, Kuwait said, Landmark Group regards service to the community as a crucial component that plays a pivotal role in the country's progress. As a premier organization and a frontrunner in various strategic initiatives, it is our responsibility to contribute to the welfare of the society in which we operate. This is one of our core values. The Art Olympiad has become an annual event, and we hope to continue to raise the spirits of the students and encourage them to express their views strongly and in an innovative manner.

Year after year I am always amazed at the outstanding art work created the talented young students. The judges look forward to their lovely creations and are impressed each year. The positive and enthusiastic feedback we have received from schools and students as well as the growing number of participants are a clear indication of the successful engagement the Landmark Group has with the community.

As always, Landmark Group is keen on maintaining an excellent rapport and creating awareness about relevant issues among the youth with constant activities and events, while setting a platform for approx 150 students from schools of repute across Kuwait. Children will be provided with a craft pack that includes a drawing sheet and a variety of art materials such as paints, pencils and crayons.

Art Olympiad aims to bring fun and entertainment to young artists by encouraging their creativity and also by rewarding them for their participation in the art competition. It provides a grooming platform for these students by helping them improvise their flair and encourage their innovative ability through art.

Some of the participating schools for this years Olympiad are: Kuwait American School, Salmiya, The English School, Salmiya, Fahaheel Al Watanieh Indian Private School Ahmadi, Indian Educational School Jleeb, Indian Learners Own Academy, Al Ghanim Bilinguil School, Canadian Bilingual School, Indian English Academy School- Don Bosco, Indian Central School, Kuwait National English School
