The winner of our second Drawing Contest is Marc Rattat

The second edition of our drawing contest, 'Art of Living Together' was announced to all primary schools of the country a few months ago. We asked year 5 and year 6 students to draw 'citizenship' as they see it.

This contest is organised by Francolympiads in partnership with VOV. It’s a great occasion to work together, both French-speaking and Dutch-speaking people, as drawings have no specific language; they convey universal messages.

First, the contest has been undertaken on a regional contest, in 5 regions, and then on a national level. The jury members were all artists and painters, and some of them were MP’s related to the culture and art fields.

Then, 10 laureates from each region had their drawings displayed in the exhibition at the Ecole des Etoiles, also a member association of Fedactio.

The first five laureates were Marc Rattat, Maxime Van Assell, Camille Combel and Aisling Miller. However, the jury members agreed that all participants won this contest by presenting creative drawings, therefore each student received a present. The first laureates received respectively a family-trip, a multimedia gift-card of a value of 80€ and family tickets for a ride park.

Our member associations plan to repeat this successful contest every year with a variety of themes.
