XVI International graphic competition

An excellent edition of the international graphic contest 

This year too has taken place the jury meeting to award the prizes of the International graphic competition set up by the Domenico Chiesa Foundation in order to make young people think through the language of art and the values of sport.

This year again I had the honour of presiding over the nomination of the laureates and, as chairman of the jury and Vice-president of the Domenico Chiesa Foundation, I wish to express my personal thanks to all the many students who participated in this Graphic Contest. 

The 16th edition of the contest was, among all editions, the most "rich" in terms of students and participating countries.

This success is certainly due to the intense work of our President, Mr. Pierre Zappelli, Mr. Maurizio Monego and Mr. Stefano Giulieri, who have made known the values of Panathlon around the world and the aims of the Domenico Chiesa Foundation.

But a special thanks goes to teachers who understand the spirit and value of our competition and have managed to bring the technical and manual level of students to really considerable values.

The works of the winners fully represent the artistic education received.

I hope that the presidents of the reference Clubs of the award-winning schools recognize the great work done by teachers and take them for example to extend to other schools the participation in the International graphic competition in the years to come.
