Animals and Our World in Shapes!

CAMathories® is happy to announce the winners of our first International MathArt Contest!

The vote result has been taken into consideration when our judges made their final decisions. We would like to thank all contestants for their participation and congratulate all the winners on the excellent works that they have done!

Grand Prize Winner:

P4 - (Ashwitha DAMMU, India). Ashwitha will get a USD100 cash prize and CAMathories will also donate USD10 to Ashwitha's school as the school sent in the application for Ashwitha.

What did our judges say about the Grand Prize picture?

The winner shows a creative use of colour and geometric shapes in the drawing of multiple animals. It demonstrates mathematical awareness by a good deconstruction into exact shapes, such as, circles, rectangles, and triangles to represent the variety of animals that are colour-coded in its own little agenda. There is also a nice artistic feel to the overall presentation. The winning artist aptly and nicely illustrates how these shapes are all around us in our world.
