（二） 关于美术比赛主题—— 《“疫”无情、人间有爱》新加坡儿童与青少年绘画大赛
2020年一开始，新型冠状病毒悄然无声地来到了我们身边，往日热闹的大街小巷空空如也，为了安全，人们需要居家隔离，人们不能正常去工作，学生不能正常去学校，病毒的到来打破了以往的正常生活方式，新冠病毒给明媚的春天蒙上了一层阴霾。
在这次抗疫中，涌现出无数抗议英雄，工作在抗疫一线的医生和护士冒着生命危险抢救和护理感染新冠的病人；外卖小哥为了给居家隔离的人们提供生活方便，冒着高风险速递食物到千家万户，值班的超市工作人员，负责发口罩、量体温的义工们等等，这些在高风险下工作的人们都值得我们敬佩和歌颂。
学生们根据你在抗疫期间发现的感人故事、让人难忘的场景、你心中的抗议英雄人物、政府对人们的援助、你的家人在隔离期间父母兄弟姐妹从早到晚在同一屋檐下工作和学习，在这期间一家人互相支持、互相关爱和互相包容等等题材进行创作。
学生们通过画作歌颂抗疫英雄、表现抗议期间，家有爱、国有爱、人间有爱。通过画作引导人们正确认识新冠病毒，增强防范措施，遵守隔离条例、对抗疫情人人有责，人们更要多一份爱心。
“疫”无情，但人间有爱。
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.
