Mercy Youth Awards for 2025
The 2025 competition is about peace. Secondary students are invited to creatively express their vision of peace. This competition encourages young artists to explore what peace means to them—whether it’s harmony within their communities, global unity, or inner tranquility. Through their artistic talents, students can convey messages of understanding, compassion, and hope for a more peaceful world.
