Entering an art competition among 160 other talented artists was both nerve-wracking and exhilarating. I poured my heart and soul into my drawing, hoping it would catch someone's eye amidst the crowd.
When the results were announced, I couldn't believe it—I received an honorable mention from the special jury, one of just ten chosen from the pool of contestants. It was a proud and validating moment for me as an artist.
This recognition isn't just about winning a prize; it's a reminder to keep pushing myself, to keep exploring my creativity, and to never give up on my passion for art. I'm grateful for the support of my friends and family, and I'm excited to see where this journey takes me next.
