OFFICIAL JUDGE FOR COBIS ART CONTEST

 In a bid to take up new challenge and improve on my grading/scoring skills in Art as an Art educator and also as a Visual Artist, i applied as a judge for 2020 COBIS Art Contest. Fortunately, i was shortlisted as one of the judges to grade the Art entries of students across the globe, after thoroughly screening applications. Although, tough and challenging but it was fun and interesting. 

Apparently, based on my expertise and the successful judging of the numerous and creative entries across the globe, i was giving a commendation letter, sometime in April, this year. Interestingly i have been shortlisted for the second time to be one of the judges for the 2021 Cobis Art Contest.

So, i shall be one of the judges for next years edition, God willing.

See you there!!!!
