This time we had Jurors from England, Latvia, India and Singapore.
We are happy to be able to share Lavinia Tan's comments with you. (Her votes (p) are in brackets):
"IcaroS- Brazil (10p): I love this. Very realistic view of what is going on today.Pretty sure that is what a lot of people are thinking. Me included. I like this machine.
BarbaraBas- Italy (11p): So much truth in this lovely picture. Yes, we humans destroy peace and it is up to us to make peace. And it could be something as simple as 4 individuals on a road trip to promote peace.
NicoleAb- Italy (7p): Interesting prestation. Would love to know why she included the time element with the slight "forward jump" in time. And why 5 mins? It would be interesting to hear her thoughts on that. To me, if I read it correctly, it is true, making peace can take as little as a second given the desicion one makes.
Diana(ArdeleanA)- Romania (12p) "I love the quote by the artist. It is a refreshing interpretation and presentation of both the theme and the reality of the situation real-life. Simple, yet intensely captured. She really had it right smack on the nail! Well done and most deserving of NO 1." Lavinia Tan, Singapore.

Lavinia also gave AditiL and AnnaSn high scores. She also enjoyed looking at the other entries. She found they might have interesting colores, shapes, but the idea of something this machine can produce, generate and how just turn out peace she felt is not all that clear. They present elements of peace like the dove, flowers but lacks the theme subject.

Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and visual creativity!!!

This was the challenge: "We need Peace in our home, among friends, in school and in the world. Please dream and use your imagination to help us all in this difficult process. What can a Peace Machine consist of? Well, you might end up with something unbelievable, but YES your drawing can make us think and dream together.. Maybe draw yourself as if using it... maybe with friends or family... ? Use any technique you like. You can draw cartoons or make animations or collage. You can use symbols but Please: NOT WORDS."
