What is the laws of life?

The laws of life are the core values, ideals and principles by which we live. Honesty, perseverance, good will to others, these are ‘laws’ that transcend religions, cultures, and national borders. They are as universal and central to our lives as gravity. However, unlike the laws of gravity, each one of us must discover and practice the laws of life in order to benefit from them

Why the contest?

A picture can paint a thousand words.In the modern age people have become used to immediacy, the photo competition will help to embed the Laws of Life in the 21st Century. Whilst words require reflection, a photo or drawing can provide an instant vision of these moral conjectures.
