Exams for the International Drawing Olympiad (IDO) are held once a year at the national level in individual schools. Apart from academic achievement, students should concentrate on soft skills such as drawing, painting, sketching, etc. Many students in India possess remarkable drawing abilities. To nurture youthful talent, schools involve kids in such activities during their free time.

IDO Syllabus 2022-23
The International Drawing Olympiad (IDO) exam syllabus is divided into age groups and classes. This exam is given to students in grades 1 to 10, and the syllabus varies by class. Students are judged on their ability to draw and express their originality, theme, colour scheme, topic selection, the message communicated, attractiveness, and other factors. Every child has the opportunity to express themselves in their own unique way. Drawing is one of those subjects that increases concentration, inspires young minds, and effectively communicates messages.
