The Punjab Council of the Arts plans to scout for new talent in music, fine arts and creative arts through a talent hunt and by exhibiting the works of artists online for virtual tours. Operations Director Muhammad Abrar Alam told a publication that the talent hunt had been launched to find talented youth to encourage artists, artisans and intellectuals. The council has decided to hold this talent hunt through online exhibitions, talks and performances in various districts of Punjab. Competitions among the youth would be held at the district, divisional and provincial levels in music, fine arts, crafts, drama and literature. The selected candidates will then be invited to perform at the divisional level and the position holders will be awarded with the prize money. Additionally, encouragement prizes will also be given to competitors in each discipline. "All these performances, however, will be held online amidst the Covid-19 pandemic," said Mr Alam.
