Every week, we at The Hindu Young World aim to present a magazine that captivates you, our young readers. As our Children’s Day gift to you, we present a chance for you to be a part of the action behind the scenes.

Our special issue for Children’s Day on November 15 will have pages curated by six children from around the country. Do you want to be one of them?

How to participate

Write an article on this topic: If you could create a new holiday, what would it be? Why did you choose this day? How will we celebrate it?

Remember: The holiday you choose must not appear on the list of existing holidays.

Make it fun, imaginative, and offbeat!

Word limit: Maximum 250 words

Age limit: Students in Stds. VI, VII and VIII only

Last date for submission: September 25, 2024

On November 4, 2024, six selected children will get to spend the day at The Hindu office in Chennai and work with the Young World team. We will take care of travel and accommodation for the selected students and one accompanying adult.
