The first Pangaea drawing contest was held under the theme – “The Place I Want to Visit.” Children drew pictures of the places they want to visit using their imagination. The votes were being cast in October, and the results are finally in!

We are very excited to announce the winners of the First Pangaea Drawing Contest chosen by online voting! Well, the winners are…
Top Award – Miyaken (Mie, Japan) – Miyaken’s note says, “I am very very tiny on my table.” Just like his comment, imagine yourself shrinking to microscopic size and what the everyday world would be like… It would be a fun and adventurous place, wouldn’t it? Actually, Miyaken drew super tiny himself in his picture; you can see him in the left corner.

Runner-Up (Tie) – Shunta (Kyoto, Japan) and Chae Hyun Kang (South Korea) – Shunta entered this contest from the pediatric ward where he has been receiving treatment.

UBS Special Award – Nanako (Mie, Japan) – This prize was awarded by UBS, a major supporter of this contest. Nanako won a set of colored pencils contributed by UBS.

Congrats to the winners! All 4 winners will receive a prize – a drawing kit – including a set of colored pencils and a sketchbook. Surprisingly we had a large number of creative submissions, as well as of online voters. Thank you for your participation and support.

We will strive to further develop the programs that enable the hospitalized children to join our activities. To do so, we need your continued support!!! This contest is sponsored by the UBS "Kids in the Arts" Grant Program, run by UBS and Social Innovation Japan.
