In all 627 children participated in four categories beginning from LKG, UKG to Class XII from six nations, namely, India, Bahrain, USA, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Daily winners were selected on the basis of likes in the Facebook page of Pallikkutam. And final winners were judged by a two-member jury consisting of arts teachers Febin Rebello and Suma George. Febin Rebello said that the pandemic should not become an excuse to bury our talents. The theme of the competition, 'we will win COVID-19' gave an optimistic view of the future which was evident from the drawing and paintings of students. "The paintings were amazing," he said. The competition helped children nurture their creativity which would have been buried in the lockdown. "Being part of the jury process of Covitoons was exciting, liberating and thought-provoking," Seema George said. The colour combinations, creativity and artistic detail and depth of the some of the creations were laudable, she added.

The prizes were sponsored by Monopoly Marketing, an educational products company in Chennai, which consisted of goods worth Rs 5000, 2000 and 1000 for first, second and third prizes respectively.
