চুপ করানো মুখগুলো

92% COMPLETE
"Very universal and thought provoking. The artist has presented the subject of AI in the distant world and being immersed in it well. The Visual Presentation does not mention the promotion agency or website. Poster art is basically made for the purpose of promotion. Therefore, it is necessary to have an identity or communication system for the right of the viewers to know the information." – JURY.
Mastercrafter Award

The Label We Did Not Choose

Budding Weaver Award
“Behind the Shade ” by Sharmistha Mallick using no catchphrase.
Behind the Shade
"Nice, the symbolic visual presentation is good but not outstanding. Lakme’s Foundation has highlighted the issue of not seeing difference between people." – JURY.
“ Danger ” by Sohini Adhikary using catchphrase " Taking bites but not to swallow /খাচ্ছে কিন্তু গিলছে না "
Danger
"The issue is quite important. Even after seeing the image of the consequences of the cigarette on the packaging, People are still consuming it regularly. This is a poster design, so for the sake of the awareness, the organization and contact should have been mentioned, for the audience. And along with asking questions, the solution (subtitle) and the need for caution should have also been informed. The effort was good. could have been better and something original. Not very novel or striking. Bengali spelling needs to be corrected." – JURY.
“ International women's day ” by Meghasree Barua using no catchphrase.
International women's day
"Nicely done having a sweet touch but not beyond the expected." – JURY.
Dreamspinner Award

Mastercrafter Award
“ Half a Choice ” by Aditi Singha using catchphrase "Taking bites but not to swallow /খাচ্ছে কিন্তু গিলছে না ".
Half a Choice
"Beautiful observations from real life , captured symbolically. A thoughtful selection of proverbs as the core idea, though some meaning is lost in translation. A bit humorous approach could have been achieved. Obviously an out of box idea that could trigger more fun if exaggerated a bit more. " – JURY.
“ Smriticharon ” by Jit Singh using catchphrase " Big leap backward/পিছন দিকে এগিয়ে চলুন ".
Smriticharon
"Nice concept. Nicely done. A complex and very touching idea depicted so simply and subtly with a well-written concept note, though the execution falls short." – JURY.
Budding Weaver Award
“ জল ” by Debasmita Das using catchphrase " Big leap backward/পিছন দিকে এগিয়ে চলুন ".
জল
"Very nice job done in choosing plastic to portray the same. A lot has changed due to the inventions of the modern times, however its better for us to discard many of these types of things which has done more harm than good. Clay vessels can cool water and plastics pose microplastic risks, yet water security is defined by its source, reminding us that tradition alone doesn’t guarantee safety. Seems quite static the way the bold idea has been presented. There was more scope to animate the whole thing like the pitcher pulling the bottle to its side." – JURY.
“ Messenger, বার্তাবাহক কে ” by Debosmita Shee using catchphrase " Big leap backward/পিছন দিকে এগিয়ে চলুন ".
Messenger, বার্তাবাহক কে
"Beautiful idea but execution could have been better. The depiction lacks clarity." – JURY.
“Classroom” by Priyas Shee using catchphrase " Taking bites but not to swallow /খাচ্ছে কিন্তু গিলছে না ".
Classroom
"Nice portrayal of the catchphrase with yet another observation from life. Strong concept, but needs more refined execution. The drawing needs to be improved. " – JURY.
“ বড়ো হয়ে গেছি ” by Sagar Adhikary using catchphrase " Big leap backward/পিছন দিকে এগিয়ে চলুন ".
বড়ো হয়ে গেছি
" Nicely done with a symbolic touch. Loved the fascinating idea that takes us back to our childhood. Cherishing childhood memories is beautiful but it need not be the source of sorrow. Would have loved even more if the catchphrase had been used from a positive perspective. Though the depiction is alright, the drawing with bold strokes could add more life to the idea. The idea needs more thought and stronger execution. Nice portrayal of the catchphrase with yet another observation from life. Strong concept, but needs more refined execution. The drawing needs to be improved. " – JURY.
“ Ustad ji ” by Soumyadeep Chakraborty using no catchphrase.
Ustad ji
" A beautiful ode to the art. Good attempt made trying to capture the legend's facial expressions all with the help of small little exaggerations. Expression and applying the depth in water colour are fascinating. Looks like a sticker which could have been avoided. " – JURY.
Trailblazer Award
“ Unsent ” by Rounak Abid using catchphrase " She was my storm and my shelter/কখনো সে ঝড় কখনো চন্দ্রাতপ মাথার উপর ".
Unsent
"The writing captures raw emotional tension with vivid sensory dwtails, and weaves philosophical reflections on delay, responsibility and self-justification into a personal narrative that feels authentic and atmospheric.Some abstract statements could be grounded with more concrete imagery to enhance clarity.there is also scope for trimming self-analysis and refining the ending. Otherwise, it is laudably creates an immersive atmosphere; and the writing voice is distinct and engaging with well-crafted prose. A commendable effort." – JURY.
“ Sailing Through My Mind ” by Titas Majumder using no catchphrase.
Sailing Through My Mind
"With beautiful expression and articulation of thoughts, the poem is interesting read. The writing is polished with lush imagery, syntax, diction, poetic devices and a fluid structure. The turbulence in Nature and in the mind is well brought out as the thoughts get a tense climax and a near-epiphanic ending. However, the too heavy reliance on familiar introspective tropes (inner journey, existential angst, self-discovery via Nature) makes it feel rather derivative. " – JURY.
“ Borrowed Lives ” by Manowar Shaikh using no catchphrase.
Borrowed Lives
"Nicely conceptualised and expressed in an interesting poetry foetry format which is a poignant exploration of suppressed identity and unfulfilled desires conveyed through powerful natural metaphors . The use of repetitive structure and vivid imagery effectively conveyes the emotional depth of the poem making it a compelling read. It is a very thoughtful poem with beautiful imagery and lyricism." – JURY.
“ Fields of Never-Was ” by Jamil Firdows using no catchphrase.
Fields of Never-Was
"A very beautifully expressed theme of loving and losing. The poet crafts an atmospheric narrative that swings between longing for an idealised "you" and the eventual surrender to oblivion. The central idea is ambitious, exploring how intense affectioncan blur reality, leading to an existential fade-out imagery and symbolism. The poem has a dream-like tension between presence and absence. Elegant diction balances lyrical beauty with raw vulnerability, though a few lines could be pruned for sharper impact. The concept delves deep into the psychological aftermath of obsessive love portraying the transition from yearning to self-annihilation.. it raises questions about identity and the cost of emotional immersion, making the thematic ambition noteworthy. The poem showcases mature poetic craftsmanship that beautifully captures its evocative idea , emotional resonance and symbolic richness. Its use of metaphors and imagery is captivating as much as its rhythm and lilting quality." – JURY.
“ Mistakes ” by Indrakshi Mondal using catchphrase "Big leap backward/পিছন দিকে এগিয়ে চলুন ".
Mistakes
"Excellent write-up. Restrainedyet every word so powerful, every feeling so well expressed. pain but no melodrama. Deeply personal and authentic painting of one's raw emotions. Skilfully chosen diction, imagery and poetic devices. The work, however, could be extended to lead towards greater self-awareness beyond mere acknowledgement of mistake, to isolate illusion from reality, and deepen readers' understanding of why tolerance masquarades as love. The poem risks ambiguity in distinguishing genuine affection from mere convenience. Finally, some lines feel overly abstract weakening the emotional punch; and the concluding message, while impactful, leans heavily on melancholy." – JURY.
Dreamspinner Award
“ Is it worth sacrificing? ” by Nandini Saha using catchphrase " Small words are not that small/ছোটো কথা ছোটো নয় ".
Is it worth sacrificing?
"while probing the opression of women through the lense of sacrifice the writing links personal loss to cultural tradition. Historical allusions amplify the emotional and social weight of the issue. Skilllful choice of imagery , diction and an earnest tone creates the appropriate mood and brings out the main idea. But missing punctuation marksand inconsistent phrasing hinder smooth reading. The recurrent "I don't know when" creates redundancy and weakens the rhetoric force. Above all, what is the relevance of the content to the catchphrase?" – JURY.
“ Half-Swallowed ” by Asha Mallik using catchphrase " Taking bites but not to swallow /খাচ্ছে কিন্তু গিলছে না ".
Half-Swallowed
"The story has been woven around the catchphrase in an interesting way.The prose is flowing, articulate and elegant. The narrative captures emotional depth and crafts vivid imagery of erosion affecting memory and identity. There is perfect balance between lyrical language and concise story telling. However, there is room for sharpening character motivation, streamlining the descriptive passages and providing a clearer solution to the old man's internal conflict which would enhance thematic impact and reader engagement. " – JURY.
Mastercrafter Award
“ Lost in the mountains ” by Mainak Dutta using catchphrase " Big leap backward/পিছন দিকে এগিয়ে চলুন ".
Lost in the mountains
"The narrative moves from the protagonist's fascination and restricton to a defiant journey of choosing self-discovery over societal warnings. The piece balances personal yearning with existential reflection though some imagery feels conventional; the diction could be restrained to sharpen the symbolic contrast between "colony" constrsaints and mountain freedom, The concept is engaging, the theme is relatable and thought-provoking but the execution leans heavily on familiar tropes of isolation and destiny -- limiting originality. Solid technical skill in weaving narrative and symbolism is noted. The poet demonstrates competent structural control, consistent rhythm and effective use of metaphor. The language is generally clear though minor grammatical slips and repetitive phrasing reduce the lustre. Over all, it is a lovely little verse with a unique perspective and a certain tone of longing. But consistency with the catchphrase is not clear. " – JURY.
“ Where Technology Shines and Humanity Fades ” by Joyee Chakraborty using catchphrase "Can the ostrich escape the storm? /অন্ধ হলে কি প্রলয় বন্ধ থাকে? ".
Where Technology Shines and Humanity Fades
"The author's command over language has a thoughtful phrasing and a clear, reflective tone. The prose is honest. The structure -- moving from description to philosophical enquiry -- works well. Shows originality and social relevance, engaging the reader with a meaningful philosophical dilemma. However, the transitions between ideas could be smoother; some sentences seem overwritten. The main idea calls for better articulation. The language needs to be more sophisticated." – JURY.
“ what is love? ” by Joy Chatterjee using no catchphrase.
what is love?
"Good ideas and concepts of exploring love through multiple lenses (philosophy, science, personal experience) which is bold and intriguing. The use of paradoxes and references to popular culture adds depth and makes it thought-provoking. The writing is insightful and well structured but does not match upto the conceptual standard of the piece and becomes a rather cliched mish-mash of theories." – JURY.
“ The Fierce Cradle ” by Isha Chowdhury using catchphrase "Can the ostrich escape the storm? /অন্ধ হলে কি প্রলয় বন্ধ থাকে? ".
.jpg)
The Fierce Cradle
"Very well conceived and articulated. The concept is thought-provoking, weaving perception, fear and existential crisis into an allegorical "apocalypse".It offers a nuanced philosophical message about inner awarenessversus external events. A strong atmospheric prose and symbolic craftsmanship is also displayed. The prose is clear and poignant. However, the dense style and occasional lack of clear exposition affect readability and structural precision, limiting the full execution of the idea. he ending/ twist in the tale seemed a little rushed. " – JURY.
“ THE WEAGHT BENEATH A WORD ” by Aditi Singha using catchphrase "Small words are not that small/ছোটো কথা ছোটো নয় ".
THE WEAGHT BENEATH A WORD
"There are some beautiful artistic imageries in the prose that justifies the catchphrase and emotions are successfully are interestingly built up in short lucid sentences with a detached tone adding layers of meaning beyond the literal. it also exhibits a sophisticated interrogation of linguistic subtlety but is marred by several grammatical and stylistic infelicities: inconsistent tense use, ambiguous pronoun reference, and occasional syntactic awkwardness. These errors obscure the otherwise precise metaphorical architecture and diminish the textual elegance and thematic depth. Meticulous grammatical revision and tighter cohesion needed. " – JURY.
