South Madras Cultural Association (SMCA) Charitable Trust, in collaboration with HashHackCode (HHC), is introducing a first-of-its-kind event to this year’s Durga Puja celebrations: the Generative AI (GenAI) Kids Competition.
Scheduled to be held on October 1, the competition invites children to create AI-generated images inspired by the vibrant spirit of Durga Puja, says a press release.
This programme blends tradition with technology, giving children a unique opportunity to explore generative AI while celebrating their cultural heritage. Participants will transform their written prompts into stunning digital artwork, sparking creativity, building digital confidence, and developing future-ready skills. It shows how festivals can become platforms for creativity and learning, the release says.
Families attending Navami festivities will witness how a community celebration can evolve into an inspiring space for technological exploration—offering children a glimpse of the future while honouring cherished traditions.
