1st Place - Nilya Sadat Mirrezaie from Iran for artwork
Niya says: 'I have drawn the beautiful Caspian Sea. I drew a sherman who has caught carp and salmon in his net. On the beach, I drew children who support the environment and clean the beach. I drew the Caspian seal, which is the only mammal of the Caspian lake and is in danger of extinction. Factors such as being caught in shing nets, environmental pollution, and hunting cause them to disappear. Seals are vital for the Caspian Sea ecosystem. My polka dot I drew the beautiful province of Lorestan like a girl with waterfall hair because Lorestan has beautiful waterfalls and also the nickname of Lorestan province is the land of blue hair. I put the castle of the stars on his head like a beautiful crown. I drew the blind sh of Lorestan Cave as an earring for him. I pulled the oak trees and overturned tulips of Lorestan on his shoulder. I drew the Lorestan salamander, which is a native species of Lorestan province, in his hands. The Lorestan salamander exists only in the country of Iran and in the Shahbazan region of Lorestan, so it is going extinct, so we must take care of it because it is of national and international importance'.
