Selection of the drawings in this round was much more difficult and responsible.

In the result of the previously held closed voting, all the works were classified according to the points gained, but each of them was once again discussed by the commission, so as not to miss a single detail, and that was why the choice of pictures took almost 3 hours instead of the planned 1 hour. Each work was unique in its artistic, content and worldview.

The drawing’s correspondence to the contest the content, as well as the age feature and the representation of the participants from different countries were taken into account in the selection process.

Thus, as a final result we have the following picture:

 

1st Prize – Maya Martiashvili, 15 years old, Bolnisi, Georgia
