Winners Announcement of Art for Peace Competition 2022
Thank you so much to all of you who took part in our Art for Peace Competition! It was so wonderful to see the creativity and ideas for peace through art.
The Art for Peace Competition aims to encourage and promote world peace. We also believe that art can bring about peace, and art forms such as drawing and painting grant individuals a canvas upon which to express emotions that some are unable to express with words. Thus, those who are reluctant to verbalise their thoughts and fears can do so through art. Art can act as a non-verbal language that is accessible to all regardless of gender, social standing, political affiliation, race or religion.
All the amazing entries submitted in this competition are beautiful in their own way. The final decision was made by five judges from the Peace Club. The judging was based on the artwork, art statement, conceptuality, and creativity. Therefore, if you didn’t win this time, know that we appreciate your art and all the hard work that went into it. Keep it up!
We are pleased to announce the winners:
