Calligraphy competition: Seminary students vie for prize

PESHAWAR:
A district-level calligraphy competition was held among students of different seminaries on Friday. Over 30 students took part from six institutes. The initiative was organised by the Peace Education and Development (PEAD) Foundation, in collaboration with Unicef and held in Phase-V, Hayatabad. Once the contest was over, organisers exhibited their work to University of Peshawar Art and Design Fine Arts department Supervisor Nasir Mehmood. He said calligraphy was “the best form of art” and was impressed by the work produced by seminary students. “I have observed a spark in a young boy’s eyes. We opened a small window of light and fresh air. Such activities would be continued in future too,” PEAD Coordinator Faisal Jalil said.
