8,000 utensils and 300 hours, woven with imagination to make a stand for the environment.
It has been a while since I have had a conversation - like a real conversation - with a child. So when I set off to interview and photograph YOLO’s Keep the Dream Alive Children’s Category 1 Winner, Ethan Chua, I had no idea what to expect.
Stepping into Ethan’s world for the first time, his parents, Elizabeth and Alvin, both teachers, greeted me warmly as I took in the dazzling display of artworks lovingly tacked to the walls.
You can find photographs of the prize giving ceremony on 11 July here.

The Keep the Dream Alive Art Competition was launched in December 2008. More than 300 participants as young as 4 years old, shared their dreams through various mediums like crayons, watercolours and fabrics! The prize presentation ceremony was held on 11 July 2009 at the HDB Hub in Toa Payoh.
In conjunction with the Reflection: youth photo competition and exhibition in May and June 2009, YOLO invited everyone at the launch to put in their quotes to "If Life were a Pencil..." and the winners stood a chance to win a limited edition YOLO t-shirt!
After much consideration... we are pleased to announce the winners!
