The posters of the locker painting competition were put up on the A-level notice boards and corridors by the third week of September, with the last date being the 9th of October, 2009. The rules were pretty clear stating to express ourselves in whatever way we could, be it grafitti or any kind of sketches. We had to use any sort of paints or other stuff that went well with the metal locker doors.
The main spirit behind the competition was to give us an oppurtunity to pour out our inner thoughts onto our own personal lockers, that would somehow reflect our personality. According to Mrs. Uppal the lockers would be a legacy passed on to the future batches to come and the first official A-level batch of the Lahore Grammar School, Paragon City would be remembered long after they leave the school thus creating a strong bond of affection between the alumnis and the newcomers.
One of the facts that really disappointed the judges was that there were hardly twenty to twenty-five lockers that were worked out of two hundred and fifteen lockers. Considering the fact that today's young generation is quite eager to scribble on nearly everything they get thier hands on, as depicted by the numerous illustrations on the desks and chairs in the A-level classrooms, the response was pretty low. The ones who did the effort did a remarkable job. It was good to see the Arts as well as the non-Arts students' bright ideas poured onto their lockers. The competition was judged by the junior Arts teacher Mrs. Wajeeha Khan and the winner was Hassan Pervaiz followed by Arslan Farrukh as he gained the second position.
