 About the 2021/22 Competition Theme

Life cannot remain the same after conflict. Slowly but eventually it has to evolve into something else. The changing process cannot always be positive and it may take a long time to recover. Every life changes when the conflict enters their life including the family, society, country or even a kingdom. As time goes by we remember that conflict to honour the lost ones and reflect on the past.

In other words, we resolve, recover, rebuild, reflect and then finally remember the past events.

With this in mind, the theme of the 2022 competition is Life After Conflict.
