The News On Sunday Competition is back for its 5th Edition! So stock up on your brushes, paint tubes and papers and get started for an all-out adventure. But before you get all wound up, here are a few basics. The chosen theme for this year is “Green Wave Action” and for your submitted work of art to be considered, you will have to stay relevant to the theme. Do not forget this point at all cost. In fact, make it your mantra! By choosing this theme, our aim is to revive the youth’s alertness for a Cleaner, Greener & Safer Mauritius. In addition, we want to promote the importance of Ecotourism as a promising economic sector. As an enhancement to maintain our ecological quest, participants and sponsors will have the honour to associate themselves with the Défi Media Group’s ecological/social programs during the year 2016.
