Today, on the World Day of the Seas and Oceans, we summarize the results of our creative contest, which we announced for all residents of Ukraine. By the way, we will announce the results of the contest for Georgia soon 😊.

For two weeks in a row, we received your dreams, feelings, thoughts about the Sea.

You have sent us an incredible number of wonderful works – 98 drawings of different styles, with different feelings, for different skill levels. Each work is beautiful and unique in its own way: the desire for peace, so dreamed by every Ukrainian today; the colorfulness of the imagination, which is especially striking in such difficult times for us and gives hope; creative approach; charming sincerity…

We are happy to unite such a large community of creative people in this contest and we are sincerely grateful to each artist for their participation!

In evaluating the works, our criteria were relevance to the topic, originality of the work, as well as knowledge of nature and the inhabitants of the Black Sea (unfortunately, octopuses, coral reefs, palm trees are not related to Ukrainian Black Sea region.
