Last week, we proudly announced the finalists in the ages 11-14 category of our 2022 Science Without Borders® Challenge. Today, we are excited to announce the 15-19 year-old finalists of our art contest.
Contest finalists are from China, Indonesia, Korea, Thailand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The theme, “Ridge to Reef” was portrayed in the students’ artwork through a variety of different actions such as planting corals, cleaning up pollution, preventing overfishing, and planting trees. We were amazed by these students’ creativity, execution of the theme, and artistic abilities.
Without further ado, please meet our 15-19 year old finalists:
"Save the Last cCorals" by Homa Hassani, Age 18, Republic of Iran
ARTIST’S STATEMENT: My idea in my Painting is Based on the sientific article of chemistry reaserch that I wrote My self. My Idea to save corals is to use nanotechnology to produce biodegradable nanocomposites that are destroyed after removing their sea pollutants. Nanocomposites are made from PVP, Tio2, and from recycling of fish, all of wich are cheap for production and dont have danger to the sea. I show all theis in my Painting that how we can save corals with chemistry science.
Stay tuned! We will announce the winners in the next couple of weeks.
