Mysuru: GRS Fantasy Park will host GRS Talent Star 2026, a city-wide competition for schools on Aug. 22 (Saturday) at Kalamandira in Mysuru.

Around 1,200 students and teachers from more than 300 schools across State, CBSE, ICSE and IGCSE boards are expected to take part. The competition is built around three age-specific events: a Crayon Colouring Contest for Class 5, an English Spell Bee for Class 6 and a Solo Dance for Class 7 students. These competitions will be judged by independent experts in each field. There is no entry fee for all three competitions and GRS has organised lunch and refreshments for students throughout the day.

Winners will take home cash prizes, trophy, gifts, medals and free entry passes to GRS Fantasy Park along with goodies from other sponsors. 30 runners up will be recognised as GRS Future Talent Stars from each competition. Every participant will receive a certificate. The most talented school that performs best across all three events stands a chance to win the GRS Talent Star Rolling Trophy.

“GRS has always been a part of the joy in a child’s school life,” said Ashwin Dange, Director, GRS Fantasy Park, Mysuru, adding  “With GRS Talent Star, we simply want to hand that stage back to the schools that have trusted us for so many years, and to remind every child in Mysuru that their moment to shine is closer than they think.”

Alongside the contests, MQA (Mysore Quantum AI) will conduct an AI Learning session meant for the students on the day of the event. Smilesure Dental will offer free dental check-ups for participating students and teachers.

The competition runs from 8 am to 5 pm at Kalamandira. For details, schools can contact Latha at GRS Fantasy Park on Mob: 90356-84430 or the event coordinator Ananda Ram on Mob: 92428-79888.
