"You don't need junk to make a dunk!" says art competition winner, Oslya Ollivierre, in her drawing featured on this page (click for larger version). Kerosene Lamp Foundation awards laptop, books and other learning aids to nine winners of the 2008 Express Yourself Art & Essay Competition in St. Vincent & the Grenadines. Winners hail from Bequia (Belmont, Hamilton & La Pompe), St. Vincent (Calliaqua, Fairhall, & Ratho Mill) and Union Island (Clifton).
The competition was open to all school-aged students in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Children in grades 1 to 3 were asked to use art to show them making healthy lifestyle choices, while those in grades 4 to 6 and forms 1 to 5 were asked to write about the importance of health, education and how to spread awareness of HIV/AIDS throughout the islands.
Winning entries were selected by KLF Founder, Adonal Foyle, who personally reviewed the art and essays along with KLF’s Executive Director. Essays were judged by content relevance, creativity, clarity of thought and grammar/punctuation/spelling.
