The competition aims to support oncology patients and their relatives through art, call to resist the severe diagnosis, and promote the joy of living and recovery. The competition is open to any art lover around the world and artworks are especially welcome from those who have been able to defeat cancer. The slogan of the competition is � Art wins!
The Head of the Foundation, Mr. Einars Repe commented: Oncology patients are entitled to the quality of life even during the toughest stages of their treatment. They and their families are entitled to understanding, supportive, inspiring and caring environment. This competition is about the light and hope. It is about love, the joy of life, and human victory over diseases. We hope that the artworks will provide strength to people in sorrow and promote their resistance to the disease.
