2020 Think Kind Competition Winners | NZ Vegetarian Society

This year we have received many well-written essays, poems, narratives, stories, letters, informative slides, cute drawings, creative posters, smart and educational videos, and song! The creativity of the students is very impressive! It made the judging process hard, but we have selected the top 10 best projects.

NOW IT’S YOUR TURN TO VOTE ON YOUR FAVOURITE!

Voting opens 1st October (World Vegetarian Day) and closes on midday 31st October. The winner’s school will receive $1,000 – thanks to our generous sponsor, Linda McCartney

2020 Think Kind Student Competition Winning Entry

Harmann Mahey (Year 8) Mission Heights Junior College

2020 Think Kind Student Competition Winning Entry – “I have made this artwork reflecting the message of “E mate ana a Papatuanuku” which means “Mother Earth is dying”. The art is incorporating the body of a lady (Mother Earth) and the many amazing features of Earth and New Zealand relating to the Maori culture crying because of the damage we have done to Earth; eg the fantail is whispering whilst sitting on a twig with no leaves, giving awareness to others that his home is in the urge of dying. Another example is the taniwha, getting fierce and aggressive due to the disturbance to the sea eg sea levels rising and pollution in oceans. The sun is also demostrating an impact of concern and worrisome upon the looking from above at Mother Earth.”
