The theme of this contest was: transformation
French novelist, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, wrote, “A single event can awaken within us a stranger totally unknown to us. To live is to be slowly born.”
Transformation can take all shapes and sizes within our lives, whether it’s an interior transformation or something you can see taking place in the world around you.
