（二） 關于美術比賽主題—— 《“疫”無情、人間有愛》新加坡兒童與青少年繪畫大賽
2020年一開始，新型冠狀病毒悄然無聲地來到了我們身邊，往日熱鬧的大街小巷空空如也，爲了安全，人們需要居家隔離，人們不能正常去工作，學生不能正常去學校，病毒的到來打破了以往的正常生活方式，新冠病毒給明媚的春天蒙上了一層陰霾。
在這次抗疫中，湧現出無數抗議英雄，工作在抗疫一線的醫生和護士冒著生命危險搶救和護理感染新冠的病人；外賣小哥爲了給居家隔離的人們提供生活方便，冒著高風險速遞食物到千家萬戶，值班的超市工作人員，負責發口罩、量體溫的義工們等等，這些在高風險下工作的人們都值得我們敬佩和歌頌。
學生們根據你在抗疫期間發現的感人故事、讓人難忘的場景、你心中的抗議英雄人物、政府對人們的援助、你的家人在隔離期間父母兄弟姐妹從早到晚在同一屋檐下工作和學習，在這期間一家人互相支持、互相關愛和互相包容等等題材進行創作。
學生們通過畫作歌頌抗疫英雄、表現抗議期間，家有愛、國有愛、人間有愛。通過畫作引導人們正確認識新冠病毒，增強防範措施，遵守隔離條例、對抗疫情人人有責，人們更要多一份愛心。
“疫”無情，但人間有愛。
About the Art Competition – Courage, Hope and Love in the time of a pandemic
The COVID-19 outbreak in December 2019 has caused a dramatic loss of lives worldwide and posed unprecedented challenges to healthcare systems, food systems and the way we work and live globally. In Singapore, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused various economic, social and political issues and transformed how we live and interact with our friends and families. A circuit breaker was implemented last year and schools and most work places were shut down. Our flight terminals became deserted, our busiest streets and malls quietened, and we constantly adapt and adjust our work and lives to the new normal. Adults and children work and school remotely and play their part in reducing social interactions and adhering to the latest guidelines. Our frontline workers have fought bravely against the virus and put themselves at the forefront of the pandemic. From healthcare professionals who are risking their own lives to save patients, safe distancing officials doing their dutiful patrol checks to volunteers distributing masks and measuring temperatures… these are all facets of heroic moments and these heroes deserve our recognition and praise.
We would like to invite children and youths to reflect on the past year of the new normal and ask themselves if they have experienced any acts or moments of courage, hope and love in their daily lives. These could be personal encounters, lived experiences of closed family and friends, everyday observations, stories and moments. Following the theme of the art competition, we hope that children and youths will have an engaging and thoughtful time in preparation for the art competition. We look forward to seeing your wonderful art submissions for the Visual Arts Centre National Children and Youth Art Competition!
This art competition is open to all children and youth currently residing in Singapore. Participants may submit an original artwork created according to the theme of the art competition under either age category.
