The victory of Belarus at the international competition of children's drawings was won by Victoria Andreichik. She is only 11 years old. Belarus has been participating in the contest for many years, but for the first time it has become a winner. Drawings for the contest "Draw me the world" were sent in electronic form. The competition involved children of different age categories - from four to seven years, from 8 to 12 and adolescents from 13 to 16. This year they represented 29 countries, different continents, ethnic groups and religions. Among the participants there are children who know firsthand what war is, and children who know about war only from books.
The winners were chosen by a professional jury, which included artists and critics from around the world. The choice of the winners was carried out "blindly". Only the age of the child was known. The main criterion for selection, it's not strange, was not professionalism and skill, but whether the drawing touched the heart of the jury .
In this competition there are no first, second and third places. Of several hundred participants, the jury chose 50 winners. And all were invited to Paris for rewarding. Following the results of the competition, the album was created with drawings-winners and a traveling exhibition was organized, which will pass through all 50 countries, whose representatives became the prize-winners of the contest. Meanwhile, the drawings of the children from Smilovichi will be presented in France.
