The “Peaceful Towns” competition gathered more than 3 thousand drawings from all over the world
The “Mayors for Peace” international organization of which Volgograd is a Vice-President, has chosen the winners of the third international competition “Peaceful Towns”. This year, Hiroshima Secretariat received entries from child and teenage artists in 99 cities of 19 countries.
Out of 3,122 drawings, the “Mayors for Peace” member cities had independently chosen 466 best works in 2 age categories. 12 prizes and one “Mayors for Peace” President’s Award were distributed among them by a competent jury from Japan – a country famous for its ingenious artists, manga creators and painters.
Let us be reminded that the drawing that receives the President’s Award will consequently be printed on the organization’s plastic folders to be distributed at her official events during the whole consecutive year.
The previous competitions were a triumph for Russian and Volgograd participants alike. In 2018, the “Mayors for Peace” President’s Award went to an artist from Krasnodar, and in 2019, 2 second prizes were awarded to Volgograd participants.
This time, though, the majority of the award stand is taken by the artists from Iran and Japan (5 and 4 prizes respectively), thirded and concluded by Germany and Vietnam (2 and 1 winners).
