2020/21 Competition Winners!

It is with much delight that I share our Digital Winners Booklet, for you to view the exceptional work created by the children and young people during our 2020/21 International Competition. 

This year, over 3,100 children and young people from a staggering 99 countries, territories and dependencies submitted entries into the competition. The young people spoke about a wide variety of topics and showed deep empathy and understanding of how conflict affects others. The team and judges were incredibly moved by their powerful pieces.

Teachers and parents shared lovely stories about what a positive impact participating in our competition has made on their pupils and children. One parent shared, ‘This has made my son, and teenagers like him, more aware of the conflicts taking place in our human society. This is something that no other organization or activity can provide, and it will bring a very positive effect on his growth.’ 

Most importantly, young people were thankful for the opportunity to speak about what matters to them and have their voices heard. We couldn’t be more proud of each and every one of them.

We’d also like to highlight three winners who participated in creative workshops as part of our ‘Voices of Armed Forces Children’ project. Please find their winning entries on pages 8 and 24. 

We applaud each and every winner and participant for having their voices heard!
