Kolam contests during Pongal in Chennai

I have seen commercials in Sun TV about this and read some news articles about it. Apparently, this was organized by Chennai Municipal Corporation and was attended by a lot of people. Here is a link to the story that appeared on The Hindu.

Looks like there was another kolam competition that happened in Mylapore, Chennai. I came across it through some pictures that I found in flickr.

I know there are a lot of members from Chennai. If you happen to participate in the contest or have any information, please share it with us.
