An IACG Student Named Finalist in The Rookies’ Global Art Challenge

The Rookies — a global platform where young creatives from the world’s best schools come together to learn, compete, and grow. Known for spotlighting emerging talent in animation, VFX, games, and design, The Rookies’ Monthly Art Challenge continues to inspire the next generation of storytellers.
Each month, students are given a theme to explore through their imagination and artistic skills. This time, the theme was “Small Wonders.”
The challenge asked students to look closely at the tiniest details that often go unnoticed — from the textures of nature to miniature worlds and magical moments in everyday life.
Among hundreds of impressive entries, one concept stood out for its charm and storytelling — and it came from IACG.
We’re proud to share that Rohith Srivastava, a talented student of IACG Multimedia College, was selected as a Finalist in the Open Category for his beautiful and heartfelt artwork titled:

“Antonio & JuliAnt – A Sweet Proposal”

In the soft golden light of the jungle, Antonio stands on his tiny legs, holding up a sugar cube ring on a blade of grass. His heart races as he looks at Juliant, hoping she’ll say yes.

Juliant’s eyes light up with joy, her antennae twitching with excitement. She smiles warmly, touched by Antonio’s love. In that simple, beautiful moment, the little sugar cube becomes a symbol of something big — a love as sweet as sugar.

The concept was not only visually engaging but emotionally rich — capturing the heart of what Small Wonders truly represents.
In a challenge filled with creative brilliance from across the globe, IACG continues to stand out as a place where young minds are nurtured to see beyond the obvious — and tell stories that matter.
This isn’t just a recognition for Rohith — it’s a proud moment for every creative soul at IACG who believes that even the smallest ideas can spark something big.
