“In this poster... The hands holding the iron chain with the lock depicts the political power who laid down the lockdown for the protection of our countrymen. The helpless and ill Earth wearing mask is being protected by the doctors and policemen. The tears of Earth are being collected by the poor vendors, sweepers and labours of our country. Having so less with them they are still protecting the Earth.

At the end of the page the figure sitting under the tree is a simple man who has lost all his hopes of life but still is being protected by the doctors, police, political powers and those people who have very little in the world. I painted this poster for I could always be thankful to the Corona warriors . It was very much my own idea I haven't taken any help from any website.”

Youth

The winner is, Natalie Craig. Congratulations!

“Care work has never been something that has been highly valued by the UK society. It was never something that would make you any money, it doesn’t turn a profit. This virus has flipped that narrative on its head. It has reminded us how valuable this work is to the health and happiness of any society across the world.

Care does not discriminate, it demonstrates our universal values. We have an opportunity to develop a new economic system which values all type of activity that meets the core needs of our society within the means of the planet.”
