"During home isolation, I felt a growing disconnection to the outside world, an impossible distance between my sheltered existence and the life I knew months ago. My artwork focuses on the erasure of the cityscape that represents my fading memory of the outside world. I entered this competition because I felt the need to express my perspective of the world and to exhibit the drawing techniques that my school art teacher, Mrs Godbee, had taught me over the past few months of this year. With that knowledge and technique, I was able to create a complex piece that allowed me to challenge myself to draw more detailed works. I dedicate this artwork to Mrs Godbee who has helped me excel my art abilities and encouraged me to keep drawing. Without her, I wouldn't have made it this far down the path of my art journey. As a young artist who is still developing her art skills, drawing has become a useful tool for me where I can relieve stress from homework and also for my enjoyment where I create and deliver them to my friends and family. With this talent, I was considering working towards becoming an interior designer or a designer in interior architecture, as organising and planning is something that keeps me happy and excited. In addition to my drawings and ambitions towards becoming an illustrator, I hope to be recognised for my art and that my artworks will be hanged up on peoples' wall one day!"

Congratulations to Aloysius Lee, third place winner 9-12 years. "The artwork I did was a boy who had nothing to do since COVID-19 started. He only plays video games, watch television, ate potato chips and soft drinks. He never even shower."

"All my birthdays have been really special. I always eagerly wait for my next birthday. This year the lockdown made me change all my plans. I celebrated my birthday with my friends online. To keep distance from family and friends was the toughest part but I am lucky to be surrounded by people who love me so much and made me feel so special. We played a lot of online games and my mom baked a cake for me. It was a mixed feeling of being special and in isolation at the same time. I know no one enjoys being home on their special days but staying home is the single most powerful way to fight against this pandemic. I wish we would come out of it at the earliest. This lockdown gave me ample time to improve my drawing and painting but I miss my friends a lot."
