Mangalore, Nov 19: Kala Sangam 2006, conducted by the Mangalore Musical and Cultural Association (MMCA) from November 5-18, 2006 saw an array of fun filled events. Providing a platform for budding talent, the organizers conducted various competitions for all age groups.
If flower arrangement, painting, sketching, essay writing, fancy dress, music, singing and dance were some of the common competitions held, contests such as most talented school pupil leader, salad dressing and various instrumental solo pieces definitely added more charm to the event.
The participants included everyone from tiny tots to teachers to senior citizens. For the literary events, those not very fluent with the English language were evaluated separately.
