originality, artistic merit and best portrayal of the contest theme “Share

Organising Chairman Lion Vincent Leong said he was impressed by the expression

have strong ideas of what peace means to them. I’m so proud that we were
able to provide them with the opportunity to share their vision”
Wong’s poster

hope that her vision will ultimately be shared with others around the world”
