Alltech India launches 9th annual Art Contest, invites nationwide participation from school children.

Alltech, a global leader in animal health and nutrition, announces the ninth annual Art Contest for schoolchildren. The competition will accept entries from June 9 to July 31, 2023.

The winning entries will be featured in the 2024 Alltech calendar and awarded cash prizes and certificates.

"Healthy Mind — Healthy Body" is the theme of this year’s art contest.

Having a healthy mind is paramount to overall health and well-being. A healthy mind influences your thoughts, feelings and actions, as well as your emotional, psychological and social well-being. It collaborates with your body and determines how you deal with stress, interact with others and make decisions.

Alltech chose the topic "Healthy Mind — Healthy Body" for this year's art contest to help children realize the need to develop strong social, emotional, behavioral, thinking and communication skills as a foundation for greater mental health and physical well-being later in life.

“We are excited to announce the launch of the ninth annual Alltech Art Contest, with the theme ‘Healthy Mind — Healthy Body,’” said Dr. Aman Sayed, managing director of India and regional director of South Asia at Alltech. “A healthy mind is a precedent for a healthy body. Until recently, human evolution has been ‘outside-in,’ starting with the body, followed by the mind. In the new normal, this order has begun to reverse, and humans’ ‘inside-out’ journey has begun. Every parent and child should focus on a few basic areas - healthy nutrition, exercise, rest and stress reduction to maintain a fit mind and body.”
