Martin. They stood before the young artists, presenting certificates and gifts. In that moment, the applause rained down, nurturing the seeds we had planted that day, waiting patiently for them to grow into towering trees that would one day shelter our Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1322\" src=\"https:\/\/ccet.org.nz\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/640-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-567\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Youth Division First Prize<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kong Yinuo (12 years old)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Title: Life \u2013 Up or Down<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Description: If human hands choose to pick up trash, life will continue to grow and thrive. If human hands choose to discard trash, life will face destruction and extinction. Humans cannot survive alone on this planet; only by coexisting with all life can true sustainability be achieved. So, ask yourself now \u2013 when the choice is in your hands, how will you decide? Up or down? In this work, the artist cleverly uses various recyclable materials to enhance the expressiveness of the theme. For example: Plastic bags: used to represent litter carelessly discarded by humans, while directly interacting with dolphins (or whales) in the picture, highlighting the danger of marine life being entangled and ingested by plastic. Ropes: representing discarded fishing nets or synthetic fibers, tightly binding marine life, symbolizing the restrictions and damage that human activities inflict on the marine ecosystem. Broken glass or plastic fragments: appearing on the seabed as part of marine debris, emphasizing how human waste pollutes the ecological environment. These recyclable materials not only enhance the realism and impact of the artwork, but also convey a message: if we recycle and reuse them properly, these materials could have avoided ending up in the ocean and becoming life-threatening &#8220;killers.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1500\" src=\"https:\/\/ccet.org.nz\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/640-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-568\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Youth Division Second Prize<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zhifan (April) Meng (11 years old) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Title: Breathing Behind the Glass <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Description: The animals, with timid or bewildered expressions, silently protest the harm that &#8220;entertainment&#8221; and &#8220;possession&#8221; inflict on natural life. They belong to the vast wilderness and forests, not to be &#8220;trophies&#8221; for human amusement.

However, deforestation quickly escalates into cutting down the entire planet. At his feet, a purse overflowing with cash symbolizes how short-term gains are driving long-term environmental destruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"769\" src=\"https:\/\/ccet.org.nz\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/640.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-570\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Child Division First Prize<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Olivia Tian (8 years old) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Title: Breathing Turtles in a Polluted Ocean <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Description: In my painting, turtles are swimming with breathing tubes because the ocean is severely polluted by trash. Black stains drip from the sky, and cans, plastic, and other garbage float everywhere, even trapping baby turtles! I painted this to express how marine animals are suffering because of human-caused pollution. The turtles don&#8217;t look happy because we must clean up the ocean so they can swim freely in clean water again. We must help save the ocean and protect their future!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1079\" height=\"1518\" src=\"https:\/\/ccet.org.nz\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/640-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-571\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Child Division Second Prize<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chenghan Jiao (5 years old) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Title: The Dying Ocean <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Description: In my painting, the ocean is crying. Dirty pipes discharge poison and smoke, and the fish are grieving, some have even disappeared. I dream that one day the ocean will smile again, and the fish will return to leap, play, and live happily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"787\" src=\"https:\/\/ccet.org.nz\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/640-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-572\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Child Division Second Prize<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ethan Tian (6 years old) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Title: Let&#8217;s Protect Our Ocean Friends <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Description: I drew this picture because we must help the ocean! There&#8217;s a big ship and many fish in the picture. Some fish look happy, but some look sad because the water is polluted. There&#8217;s also a starfish, a crab, and even a seahorse in the picture! I hope to protect all the animals in the sea so they can live safely and happily. Let&#8217;s keep the ocean clean together!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We extend our heartfelt thanks to every participant, judge, and supportive parent who joined us for this competition.
