The International Environmental Children’s Drawing Contest is sponsored by Japan Quality Assurance Organization (JQA) & The International Certification Network (IQNet) and supported by UNICEF.
Now in its 16th Edition, the international competition has awarded two Iranian teenagers with First Prize and another with an Honorable Mention.
The drawings must have had an important message with respect to environmental protection and the future quality of “Voices of the Earth". According to the event’s website, the contest is a platform that shows the commitment made by future generations to care about and protect the natural resources and environment.
As a result, Mahsa Kazemini, 11 years old from Shiraz, won First Prize for her drawing of a blowing wind through a wheat field and a woman farmer in colorful local clothes embracing the golden grapes of wheat.
Milad Sadeghi, 15 years old from Ardabil, won First Prize for bringing the terrible sound of cutting down trees to the attention of the world. His drawing also depicts the sorrowful face of a man sitting on a tree branch, horrified at having witnessed such an immoral act.
An Honorable Mention also went to Negin Sadeghian, 11 years old from Isfahan, for her drawing of a village at the foot of a mountain range with girls in traditional dresses playing in the field and birds flying overhead.
Iran participated in the contest with 25 works and competed with a total of 18,299 drawings from 85 countries across the globe.
Last year, the contest awarded the First Prize to 10-year-old Fatemeh Mahalati from Kerman and granted Honorable Mentions to four other Iranian children.
