It is going to be hard to select the winners of this year’s What About Peace contest but the jury is hard at work doing just that.
Our jury consists of a book store owner, an author, a published essayist and a blogger, an artist from Cuba, an activist, a portrait painter, a landscape photographer, and muralist all dedicated to giving their full attention to all the work presented to the “What About Peace” contest by young people from around the world.
Pam Totah says “How are we going to choose?”
Every written piece is read by four people; evaluating them for craft and content. All of the visual pieces have been hung in the conference room to be seen by the jury next week. What are the most compelling messages of peace? What are the most original?
For now, as the room is used for meetings of all sorts, everyone gets to view and enjoy the incredible talent of the 14 -20 year old students who know how they feel about peace.
The winners will be announced on the What About Peace? Facebook page on April 22th, so “like” our page to see all of the fabulous winners!
