A smiling child, standing in a marine environment, raises its arms in delight. The sea is painted in different shades of blue, uniting the sky and the Earth. Strands of life emanate from the globe like streams.

With this imaginative painting, 13-year-old Chiratchaya Kaeokamkong from Thailand won this year’s 22nd International Children’s Painting Competition on the Environment on the subject of “Water: The Source of Life” in which just under 700,000 children from 110 countries participated. The motto of the upcoming 23rd edition of this competition organized by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and Bayer is “Food Waste. Save the Planet – Save Food.”
