Dear Sir,

It is quite possible and you are not require to register for the same also because it's may be used as encouragement for the new entrants as artists and artisans. Only what you need to have the panel of experts for deciding the articles for prize and also keep consideration in mind regarding the taxes involved.

No permission is required to conduct and competition if it is based on individual skill,  merit.
