My City, My Future: ASEAN cities safe from disasters.

It’s time for our budding young artists to hone their creativity again! Last year’s Regional Drawing Competition on the Occasion of the 2009 ASEAN Day for Disaster Management (ADDM) and International Day for Disaster Reduction (IDDR) saw many local talents between 8 – 12 years old interpreting “Safe hospitals” on paper with their crayons and paint brushes.

This year’s competition will promote the increase of disaster reduction awareness among youths in ASEAN with the theme “My City, My Future: ASEAN cities safe from disasters.”

This is a national level competition. The three (3) best entries at the national level will be representing Singapore to compete with youths from other ASEAN in the regional competition.
