” The Office for Disarmament Affairs has launched a disarmament education contest for young people, to run until 30 April. Entitled “Art for Peace 2012”, contestants are encouraged to watch a short video film online, then to imagine a world free of nuclear weapons. Based on their musings, young people are asked to create and upload online original artwork.
Youth from ages 5 through 17 are being urged to be creative and tap into their imaginations to draw, paint, sketch, use pens, pencils, crayons, charcoal, oil, acrylic paint or watercolours to illustrate a world free of nuclear weapons, without wars, without fear — no photography or computer-generated images.
All the works will be judged based on the criteria of creativity, composition, theme and technique. The art will be posted on the website, for entrants to share their dream of peace with friends, family, and the world. Once the artwork is posted, family and friends can vote on the UN Peace Day Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/unpeaceday
