4 Indian Students, 1 Global Win: The Story Behind the After Dark Victory

“After Dark” Challenge: Our Students Lit Up the Global Stage!

What does the world look like after dark?
That simple question sparked a creative wave across the world through The Rookies’ Monthly Art Challenge. Artists from all corners of the globe were invited to visually express what unfolds after sunset — be it silence or chaos, neon lights or starry solitude, personal stories or collective imagination.

And among the 117 incredible entries from 53 top creative schools across 25 countries…
IACG Multimedia College stood out.

We’re proud to announce that four of our students made it to the global finals.From moody illustrations to deeply emotional compositions, our students didn’t just participate — they made a mark.

Kavali Uday Kumar

P. Jagan Rao

Shiva Prasan

Rohit Maravada

Kavali Uday Kumar received a Highly Commended mention — an honour reserved for a select few who came close to the top tier.

And then came the big moment.

And the winner of the entire global challenge?
P. Jagan Rao — for his breathtaking artwork titled “Good Night.”
Jagan’s artwork struck a perfect harmony between technique, atmosphere, and emotion. His storytelling captured the theme “After Dark” in a way that resonated with judges and audiences alike.

 

A step Toward global creative leadership

Contests like The Rookies Monthly Art Challenge aren’t just about winning — they’re platforms for the next generation of creatives to introduce their voice to the world. And seeing IACG’s name among the top reaffirms that our approach to learning and mentorship is working.

We’re incredibly proud of our students, and this is just the beginning.
From Hyderabad to the world — we’re ready to show what Indian artists can do.
