We are thrilled to unveil the extraordinary winners of our art competition MY GREEN CORNER, carefully chosen by a panel of 8 talented judges.
Back in March 2023, we launched an art competition aimed at encouraging children to express themselves by creating unique artworks that feature their special green corner – whether it’s a park, garden, landscaped street, alley, or even their own backyard or terrace! We asked them to showcase a green space dear to their hearts while also promoting awareness about the significance of green spaces in our daily lives. The response was overwhelming, with an impressive 489 entries received. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the young talents who participated, as well as to their parents and educators.
The participants’ creativity and passion have truly shone through every brushstroke, pencil line, and digital masterpiece.
Congratulations to all the winners for turning your artistic dreams into reality!
